I've been wanting a toadstool since I first set up my aquarium. My LFS finally had one in today and I grabbed it up. I acclimated it this afternoon and put it in my tank. It had some rubble that it was attached to, no large rock chunk though. I epoxyed that to my rockwork in the tank. It started standing up right away but then shortly after that started leaning and tonight when I came home from dinner it was laying all the way over (but starting to open up it's polyps). I've attached a picture of how I have it propped up and wondering if that's what I should do right now with it? Most the rubble detached from the epoxy because of the weight of the toadstool leaning but it is still attached in a few areas.
My lighting is the same as the LFS's but it's in a higher flow in my tank than it was in theirs. I read up on them and it said they like a medium to strong flow.
Is this common for new toadstools or am I doing something wrong with it? Everything else I have has always acclimated well and just took right off in my tank.
