They must have sent you the wrong coral by mistake. That is not a toadstool. That is a Sinularis. If they screwed up on their end, I'd imagine with good customer service they'll send you out the right coral.

Thats not bad considering the size of it . I have a larger one that I have to frag pretty often and take to my LFS for credits . They look pretty good when fully open !

Im sorry to hear you had a mix up, but it is kinda a neat little coral. Its also nice to hear that liveaquaria.com worked with you. I have never ordered coral online as I am afraid I will get ripped off. Good to know they are good to work with.
