Toadstool killing Anthelia?
Do the Toadstools put off toxins or something? I just got a Toadstool the other day (3 days ago) and now my Anthelia has gone all limp...

They can release chemicals as defense, as other corals do by stinging, overgrowing other corals, et cetera. I'm not sure if it's the reason your anthelia is reacting poorly (have you made any other changes in the tank, or tested your water?), but just in case, I would start running carbon.

How close is the toadstool to the anthelia? It could do this but I don't think it could do this to the whole colony, maybe some of the the polyps.

That should be far enough away. Is it directly downstream?
