I bought a toadstool leather coral on Thursday to save it from my pet store lady. She asked her guy for coral which is stupid considering her "coral tank" is a 20 gallon with a strip light over it and nitrates at 50 ( I tested it that day for her because she doesn't know how) Anyways I really don't know crap about them and need some info, I surfed and searched and didn't really learn much. I put it in my 33 gallon under 130 watts of PC 50/50 but I also have my nano with 7 watts per gallon of PC it could go into but I didn't know if that was okay or not. It hasn't opened just the pimply things are out and it's leaning against a rock but not really sagging so I wasn't sure about that. Any info would be much appreciated!!!

I have a yellow toadstool and it was my first coral. It hosts zooxanthellae so it gets most of it's food from the light. When I had it under 265w CF lights, I had to place it near the top of the tank. Now it's in the middle under halides. You will know if it's doing well because it will open and the polyps will poke out. It also likes medium water flow.
Here's mine:
