$9 toadstools, or 2 for $15

I decided to stick it in a low flow area and let it attach itself.

Sometimes these corals refuse to "allow" themselves to be glued. They are able to "slough off" from the glue. By wedging it between a couple of rocks you may get lucky.

Sounds like you may have some "bull-dozers" that come out at night to do some "aqua-scaping" how THEY want it done

i wouldnt try to glue them, i agree with Al and try to wedge them on a rock. When i frag theese guys, i use a tooth pic, that is glued to a peice of marble, and stick the other end in the frag. Its sits that way for 10 to 14 days. Then i remove the tooth pick, and let him grow for 2-3 months.

thanks, rusty
i did what al suggested. i just felt if i tried to glue it i'd screw something up

mine opened up like yours did last night but seem to be pouting all day today.

Mine were doing great until my limpet snail (came as a hitchhiker on a rock) ate the entire head off the dime sized one in 1 night, and it was 1/2 the snails size... Anyone ever heard of this happening? The next morning I found it perched on the toadstools stump...

The larger toadstool is happy and growing and has not been bothered by the snail, however the snail I have never seen off the rocks and this toadstool is not within reach of "his rock" without going over sand. He has not bothered any other corals on "his rock"...

They definately grow like crazy.. mine has gotten a lot bigger.. Very Nice

you know I didn't even price these things when I ordered mine. I just realized today I got two shipped for the less then the price of one before shipping from the internet sellers. :bluenod:
I saw the youtube video where a clown was using one as a surrogate for a nem and I had to have one. way cool.

 

[turn8299]

For anyone that has these, does it take awhile for them to open up?

 

[BigAl07]

Mine opened up some within an hour and fully by the next day.

 

[faust]

1's about 1/2 opened the other about a 1/4 open but it was the one that was detached

 

[turn8299]

The one i had that was detached is opening up better than the one that is attached. The one that is attached seems to close fully with the lights on and open up at night...? Should I be concerned or give it time?

 

[BigJay]

mines the same way. The one thats detached opens up readily. Even when I moved it and it closed it opened right back up. THe one thats attached started to open then closed again and hasn't really opened since. I wouldn't sweat it though.With most corals I don't start worrying till a week or so has passed and even then I just keep my eye on it.

 

[turn8299]

Thanks BigJay, that makes me feel more at ease.

 

[turn8299]

Well I hate to say that one of mine did not make it. The other is doing great though, glad i got two!
