weeping willow help

[mixedtank]

Hi. New here. I have a weeping willow leather toadstool. The base of the stalk has become very narrow and twisted. It's now half-way attached to a wood peg. The coral is bent over and no longer standing upright. Should I cut the base of the coral to give it a steady stalk to stand on? It was at the bottom of the tank, I moved it from the sand bed because the rocks where sticking to the coral and it looked like it was causing injury. I moved it up on a rock in the middle of the tank today.

If I should cut it and reattach, would you mind explaining the process to me. I've never done it before. Thank you so much for your time.

I would just leave it in one place and it will look better. It’s probably just adjusting to the new spot. My leather corals can close for weeks at a time and then they look good again

one of my toadstools was exactly like yours and i moved it to higher light and became fat and stubby

i had that problem with mine and it adjusts its stalk based on how much light you give it, its like growing a plant that reaches towards the light but if you give it more light it adjusts itself
