I have a really interesting Weeping Willow Toadstool. It’s the same shape and growth of your typical green toadstool, but with incredibly long polyps that sway in the water.

Nice! Where I can purchase this Weeping willow?
I only know of one other person who has a weeping willow like this. She lives in Ohio. I never see them in any of the LFS. I found this at a LFS a few years ago in their frag tank.

I got mine from Ali’s Amazing Aquariums and Reefs in Orange County, CA. He doesn’t have a site, but if you call or text him, I’m sure he can arrange to ship it. Also Cali Aquariums has these, but not recently. I know they’ll be cutting their big one into fraglings soon.
 
I love my "Corky" Gorgonian that spreads like a carpet. I let it cover a piece of live rock I set out in the middle of the substrate. It has a nice bright purple / pink and sways in the current. My Radial File fish love swimming in it.

I actually got a plain yellow weeping one from live aquaria, they called it like long tentacle toadstool in the divers den... it melted on me though a few days after arrival, think it got damaged in shipment. Haven’t seen one since. My other toad is getting big though... always thought it had interesting color.

Thanks for the info! OC is not far from SD :)
 
If you haven't been to Ali's, you really should do your self a solid and go. He has a ton of Oldschool, rarer, weirder coral.

Ok , I will plan a visit to Ali’s.
I just emailed Cali Aq too for availability.
 
Are dendro's categorized as soft coral?
On that note... anyone with a weeping willing to frag any pieces?
