Help... Toadstool Leather isn't opening

[SB0169]

:exclaim:
My toadstool leather hasn't put it's tentacles out in two days now. Does anyone have any idea as to why? The water quality is fine, and absolutely everything else in the tank is flourishing. I did move it to a different part of the tank last Sunday, but it was fine after that. Yesterday is the first time ever that it hasn't opened. Here is a pic of what it normally looks like.

But now, it has no tentacles out at all. What's the deal??:shock:

By the way, The aiptasia has been dealt with

They will do that from time to time. Leave it be for a couple days.

Yes, it is probably in it's temporary "hibernation" for growing. You can add flow to help it shed it outter layer

OK, Didn't know they do that. I've still got a lot to learn, and I'm a little paranoid about something dying. Thanks for the info!

How'd you get rid of your aiptasia?

Boiling water thru a syringe took care of most of them. for the stubborn ones, I used kalk paste. There are still a couple that I missed, but not bad.

keep good random flow around that toadstool, as it will start to "shed" a slime in a few days when it is ready
