There is a Cornbred's Japanese toad for $200 starting bid on ebay right now.
I can't tell the difference between this one and the aussie toad

Not as nice as the one above, but I have this.

I made about 30 frags a month or so ago:

What did you just slice and dice with a razor blade?

Scissors work surprisingly well

I think this may be similar, left front of picture. I had this in growout for several years but not sure of it's origin.

All of them!

You selling any of them?

I have one but mine is no where near that neon. But I have green base and green polyps.

Aussie one has pink skin and Japanese has neon skin, from what I read.

+1 Japanese also has a very slow growth rate.

Only neon green polyps on toadstool =/= Japanese

Nammy · Mar 26, 2016

Both Aussie and Jap has neon polyps but skin is def.

Yes - was waiting for them to grow a little first.

I cut a 1" ring off the edge then sliced that up. I attached them to frag plugs with cotton thread - wrapped it around tightly, then super glued the thread to the underside of the plug. I do it this way for two reasons, the thread holds the frag in place till it attaches to the plug (too slimy to use glue) and the thread will also bifurcate the frag as it grows. One frag becomes two with no additional effort, well, just cutting the plug in two.

Here's mine. About 3" in circumference. I've had it now for about 5 month (guessing), it was about 1/2" when I got it and the polyps have always stayed very short. I just mode it yesterday to a lower light level to see if I get more polyps extension.

I finally got the Japanese Deepwater Neon Green Toadstool one last month! I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

Yah . I know old thread . Took me quite a few years to track one down .
I got mine from CB a lil over a year ago . It's about half dollar size now .
I know it's the real deal since it grows so slow .

I just picked one of from Zeppelin on RC. It is solid florescent green; very nice piece.

Here is the Japanese Toadstool I got from AquaSD in one of their sales:

I have no idea it is the same one you are asking about but it is lovely and doing very well.

DanConnor · Sep 22, 2016

I would say that is not what is generally referred to as a Japanese toadstool.

This one is a $20 American Shallow water light green Toadstool. And down here is a cell phone picture of it. It looks yellow under Radion but under T5 it is light green on the polyps...
