hey all: i have a toadstool leather that just started floppin over
about 2 days ago. it is about 7 in. high or so and about 8 in.
diameter.all other corals are fine [hard/soft], the leather still xpands
it's polyps and other than slumpin it looks good. water parameters are
fine, could the crown have gotten to heavy for the stalk to keep it
lifted, i'm very perplexed about this and any thoughts would be welcome.
thanks

I had some do this as well. They could be leaning toward some light.
I also had some that got quite stressed and the stalks seemed to have died..
the heads actually fell off (they were put into a tank with MH and not
adjusted gradually)
But the heads survived I re-glued them to new rocks and they seem to be
doing ok.
Any sudden changes in their water or lighting lately?
Mine will also bend over if a good sized hermit parks on them for a bit.
