If Possible this should be done out of the display but I was unable to remove the rock it's on.

Thanks !

I've not seen Garfs Version but I did attend a fragging demo at IMAC last year it's still scary chopping up your favorite coral for the first time though !

Normal. They shed from time to time. A little extra flow while shedding, speeds it along.

Hello,
I recently bought a beautiful yellow toadstool,
Click image for larger version

Name:	DSC00006.JPG
Views:	29
Size:	56.9 KB
ID:	48963

Lately I noticed he was turning a bit brown on the surface, and hasn't extended it's polyps an a couple days now. Could it be sheding, not really seeing much "slime" as it has been discribed, or is it getting too much light? Simply tanning up or cooking? Probably overreacting, but thought I'd ask the question.
Thanks,
Chris
