But leathers can stay contracted for long periods time after serious stress of moving, new lighting, new water conditions, different flow rate then used to.

Leave it be in one place for a while and quit moving it around.

After while it should get used to where it is and open up just fine.


Good Luck!

FYI: See COTM - Mar '08 - Sarcophyton sp.

Agreed Omard , i recently purchased one about 10 inches tall witha head aorund 6 inches in diamiter, and for 2 days it remained closed ' after the 3 day it began to open and now after 2 weeks it's looks very vibrent and healthy
of course i have it sitting about 10/12 inches below water line with 3/400 watt halides hitting it .

Never under estimate the need for lighting' , if i were you Laura , i would seriously consider more light .

and stop moving it all round the tank, if any thing move it closer to the top where the head will barely pierce the water level, and then leave it.

I think cornfacereef is just playing around as if this site is a joke. Each post he/she makes has no relevance to topic and/or is just outrageous

That green hue may be algae and the toadstool might be sloughing. I would give it a bit of time...I had one completely close for about a week, and now it is bigger and more beautiful then ever...

^ agree with Baxter on that. The same happened to my Devil's Hand and was opened fully and doing great within 3 days.

Thanks Matt, its really been bugging me to see people who dont understand whats going on listening to his/her suggestions and between the times that others are able to warn them that they may actually listen to his/her "Advise". I dont wanna see a "Corals Dead, Fish Dead" thread because of someones ignorance and poor sense of humor.
