ok so i had a flowerpot which is doing so so and a nice mushroom that comes and goes. i have a coral light and got the instant ocean coral accelerator stuff. i just added some frags with polips, the little silver flower things, metalic green mushrooms, small branch coral and a bigass toadstool. i really want these to do well since my damsels and hawkfish really are doing great and adding shrimp sucked the hawk ate them. but my 2 emerald crabs seem to be happy and somewhere i have a few starfish and hermit crabs movin around.

the taodstool and mushrooms have been in 3 days now. they were nice and big at the store with polips out. the shrooms are still bunched up but the polips on the toadstool are starting to come out. how long do they take to set?

What lighting are you using?

Toadstools can take a little while to settle, a week or so is common, the mushrooms should settle fairly quickly.
 
tank has been up since nov 5 last year. the toadstool has some polips coming out now. mushrooms still chillin. ph, nitrate, etc is fine so is my salt. light is 1 standard bulb 1 coral life bulb.
 
Very tall tank.. What type of bulbs are they? Power compact, t5s, t8s, t12s? If you don't know, it will say on the bulb on one of the ends.
