Toadstool coral not opening after almost a week!

[ml708]

It looks like my toadstool coral is shedding some slime, and I have used a syringe to blow off the accumulated slime on it. Once the old slime is removed, it looks shiny, but still won't open! Any reasons for that? My nitrates and phosphates are absolutely 0 and mg, ca, alk and pH are perfect

Stress... Leave it alone got few days it should start to blossom. Toadstool is very hardy.

yes, toadstool are very hardy. Mine occasionally will not open up, but after a while, it will recover by itself.

Wow, maybe because yours is female? I heard that female toadstools are up to 2 feet in diameter but males only reach 4 inches. Don't know how true that is though
