Toadstools.Japanese toadstool.. weeping willow... lets see them!

[JaimeAdams]

How much for these? Do u ship?

We do not ship at this time. I made about a dozen frags, sold them for $100 and they were all gone in a day. Granted we still have the mother as and a few frags as back ups. It really was one of my favorite pieces that we have imported.

I'd be interested if you ever sell them again!!!

Obviously not taken in my tank but I still love this shot!

Not sure what this qualifies as but I love it. The video doesn’t adjust with the yellow lens for some reason.

Did anyone buy theirs from Aqua Corals?? Penny claims she sells True weeping willow toadstools, I’ve had this for a year or so now and the polyps are barely an inch long. I’ve tried contacting her about it and she won’t respond. Clearly these polyps are nothing like a true weeping willow. The size of this has tripled but the polyps haven’t.

What's your flow like? Mine produces like crazy and if the flow is higher in a particular spot the polyps are much longer on the babies.

It’s decent. I’m not at home or I’d take a video of it. The polyps are short. Not much to see flow wise

Toadstools are my favorite corals. Just recently added this one:

I was listening to Reefbuilder’s podcast the other day, and the main guy (his name is escaping me right now) was talking about how he named the original weeping willow and now he sees all kinds of vendors and various Sarcos being sold as ‘weeping willow toadstools’ (or some variation of that), and that none of them are the original weeping willow. So, I’d be careful paying a premium just because someone claims that a long tentacled toadstool is a true weeping willow.

That’s the problem with the name game, people slap a name on something and then charge 2, 3, 4, even 10 times what it should actually cost. The other issue is that people take a coral that looks somewhat similar to a well-known named coral and then claim theirs is the same thing, when it’s not. It’s only getting worse, and it’s our own fault (collectively, as in hobbyists) for buying into and giving weight to these names. I’ve heard all the arguments about how they’re useful for identification, but I just don’t see it. People used to know scientific names and used meaningful criteria to describe and identify corals, and now it’s all ‘toxic nippleberry crack rocks’ (which somehow describes a flesh colored Anthelia).

I just got one and it is amazing. I do not have a picture of mine, but it is showing just like this picture. From @Biota_Marine . It is super long polyps. Amazing. Only had it a couple days. It is in our traveling tank for kids to see. What a great piece!

Nope, regular toadstools go for free or under 30 a frag here, we are talking about true weeping willows here, or green japanese weeping willows, most havent seen a true one of these in a while which is why it has the high price. Honestly though i want the one Jake from reebuilders has, it is an insane piece.

Let’s get one thing out of the way, there are NO original Weeping Willow leather corals for sale anywhere, because I know the three people I’ve ever given frags of this coral to. However…
