    It is water changing time and my ToadStool Leather is setting up high, When I do the water change am I going to have to move him again? Or will he be fine with his head out of water for a few minutes? I know I know it is another goofball question, but I just had to ask? Thank you all for your time....(no laffin)

    He will be fine for a few minutes, if your worried about burning him, turn your lights off while he is exposed or move him under the surface...

    Thank's Stingray I was trying to get out of moving him again, I put him in last friday and got him in a place where at least his tentacles or whisker's are out some. Thank's a bunch...

    They set high and dry for hrs in some places of the world waiting for High tide to return as do sps and even the Lenka stars set and crawl for hrs high and dry then you hear all that crap about if they are ever exposed to the air LOL . I have sat frags up on the top of the table shelf and something would come up and I would go away come back Hrs later and they all where fine the next day They may slime up and look funny for a bit , But it Will be fine

    i agree with the other replies.

    i would just turn the lights off if you have very strong lights it may burn the coral

    Sponges are one also, I dont think all except the ones that are hard to keep. I only have polyps that get exposed from w/c.
