Im far from an expert but I know some type of corals will shed there skin, and while doing so will look almost dead. But come back even bigger and more beautiful

Yep, toadstools look like they're on death's door, then shed & look better than ever! Takes about a week in total.

Thanks guys. It does seem to be perking up. It never really stands up straight anymore It always seems to be at a 90' angle at the base then turns it head up in the light. At night it is literally laying over on the sand. I have one 240g/hr powerhead in there not pointing directly but it is a small tank could this be a problem.

They grow pretty HUGE. When I was diving in the Philippines, there were some bigger than a diving room table.
