Thanks for the advice-it's nice to have my toadstool back! Brushed the sponge off and it took a couple of days but it's open and back to itself. My wife and oldest daughter love that coral.
Thanks, I'd read about their closing to shed but it's been on and off for several days now, plus the coral used to curve away from the rock and lie more or less horizontal, now it's much closer to the rock and is aligned more vertically. It's attached to the rock so if I remove the sponge I'll...
