Hi everybody.
I bought a toadstool yesterday and at my LFS it had a deep brown color with polyp extention. They had it under MH at the bottom of the Display tank. I brought it home and acclimated it for 2 hr. I put it halfway up in my tank and it started turning a florecent green color and the stalks on it became a little limp but the body still feels firm(like a toadstool should ya know?). I thought it might be getting burnt and moved it to the bottom. It looks the same today.
I did search here and it is slouging off a clear coating and I have it in a higher flow to help it along but my major concern is the GREEN color, is this normal. It does not smell rotten and is not showing tissue necrosis. It is probably just stressed but I need some reassurance.
My tank specs are:
46g bow front with 192 watt PC.
Labs:
PH -8.3
Ammonia-0
Nitrites-0
Nitrates-0
DKH-9.9
Alkalinity-3.54
salinity-1.026
calcium-340
temp-82.3(never below 80 or above 83)
Any help would be great
Thanks
Adam
