I have had toad stools open right away, and I have had them take a week to really open up.
Got a pic?

Looks like he is sheading, give him time and he will be back to full glory I bet.
They like flow (helps them shed) and light too, can you put him up in the rock?

No worries, it is harmless.
They can be on the bottom, but if he keeps moving around down there like you described he won't like it much.
