What are you water parameters? And those corals tend to go thru stages where they shrink up and look terrible in order to shred their outer layer. Make sure it has some flow around it, but not too much.
Temp 77, amm 0 , nitrite0, nitrate 5-10 ph8.4 I had a 250 gph powerhead facing it but thought maybe that was causing it so I just moved it away. My toadstool is on the same rock too and didn't open up at all today. It's not limp or anything . The polyps just won't come out

Soft corals let off chemical warfare with each other, so with your corals being so close together, they may be fighting with each other. Try separating them and running some carbon to absorb some of the chemicals floating around in your tank.
Ok ill try that. I bought them attached on the same rock on live aquaria divers den. Can I just take a razor blade to the bottom of the toadstool?

Yep, you can cut the leather off the rock with a blade, and try attaching it to another rock.
I have solar flare dx LEDs. And there at the bottom. I had them up in the middle but the toadstool kept goin limp

From that picture, looks to me like nothings wrong. Mine change like that daily. Looks like a cycle. :-)
