STOP moving it!!!!!! It is probably getting ready to shed....it needs a moderate amount of flow on it
OH and STOP moving it LOL

limp is different from shedding. Limp could possibly be "melting" caused by another corals chemical warfare. I've seen it before where a leather coral will melt away because of sponges too close to it... Anyways, just a thought.

I used to have problems with my toadstool doing what you are describing. Now I have it in my 40 breeder with two nano PH's behind it. It has a lot of flow around it and it looks really healthy - it is probably about 10 or 12 inches in diameter - it has real good extentions as well.
