Australian pink leather Toadstool

[RMS18]

Does anybody on here have one? Pictures of it in your tank? I just picked one up from divers den. Suppose to ship next monday. I have been looking for a green one but came across this one and pulled the trigger. I have never seen a pink Australian on in person, only green and brown.

Following along. I didn't know they came in any other color than tan or green. Are the polyps pink or just the body?

Well stupid me didn't take a screen shot of it but I just called them and they are going to try to see if they can retrieve the image and email it to me.

The entire body and polyps were pink. I know they shoot it under MH. I think leds always make corals pop even more and thus was pretty pink. If they email me the image I'll post it.

Oh wow, very nice. I've been thinking about getting a green one but now I may have to keep an eye out for a pink one.

Any chance you could take a picture that is close to what it looks like to your eye?

Cool, like sabellafella said it has a pale pink color. I like it a lot will add some color to the tank other than green.

Oh yeah. It gets a lil darker when open and has white tips. Ive had about a year. the 90g that its in i keep very high nitrates in, and it thrives. I keep a 75g rimless with low nitrates and 0 phosphate and it didnt hardly open in there. Just my experience though. Benefit of having two tanks i guess.

Good to know about the nutrients. My phosphate range from .01-.03 (Hanna) I should be ok with that but my nitrates I don't get a reading on api rest.

Wow long polyps

It used to be much nicer but lost some flesh in a move......hopefully it becomes circle again.

Toadstool is in, being my first soft coral I wasent sure how to attach it. It came attached to a very small piece of coral rubble. I used like half a stick of exopy to get this thing to mount. It is bigger than listed on DD. I do not like how it is mounted, I think I might take it off and try the toothpick or fishing line trick to see if it will attach to the live rock. I'll have to detach the foot from the coral rubble. What do you think, leave it as is or try the above?

First picture was day of arrival, second picture was 3rd day and last picture was 4th day. The first day it looked brownish but the pink is coming back more each day.
