    Those are both really nice frags, very colorful zoanthids, they looks very close to my Lunar Eclipse.

    Very nice frags! As the toadstool grows it will take the shape that you are talking about (folds around the edges). Some info on toadstools:
    Dont get worried is suddenly it closes for a week or so becauce most likely it is molting. As long as it does not do this extremely often it is a good sign!
    Also....Place your toadstool in a spot where it has a lot of room to grow up...they can get nice and tall
    Lastly put your toadstool in a spot where they get high flow...when they molt the flow helps a lot
    Soon as the toadstool grows the strands on the top will get MUCH longer (Up to app. 1/2 in.- 1 in.) so the high flow will make it look better than ever.... I know...I had a lot to say about these awesome corals because
    I like my toadstool so much! Hope I could help :)

    Nice frags! I love the green toadstool! I have 4 regular ones, (started with 1), they are pretty hardy. Congrats!
