Leather Thread...

[willyboy]

I can't find a leather thread (that has any replies). So maybe we'll see corals this time. I think these corals are cool and I can't wait to get one. If I had one I would start off this thread but I don't. Leather coral, colt coral, toadstool/mushroom coral, tree coral, etc, LET'S SEE EM!

Hey here is some pics of my toad stools

 

this is from my old tank that I took down about 6 mons. ago the little TS I have since fraged

 

 

 

This one was not fraged its about 7"s tall 4" wide

 

 

 

the one I fraged I got 4 out of it here are some of them. I gave one away and one fell off the glue but doing well in the back of the tank

 

 

 

this was the base of the TS

 

 

 

And my fav pic

Here is my toadstool leather I got for $5 from a LFS last year:

 

It was about the size of a quarter.

 

Here is a recent picture of it now with my clown goby in it (click for larger):

 

And here is a picture of it the FTS to show the size (click for larger):

 

I would say it is over 6 inches in diameter now when full opened up.

Not the best pic.... this toadie got huge

[willyboy]

I'll post a pic of mine when it settles in. Finally I'll put a pic in the thread I started.

Here is my new leather. I'm thinking its a huge toadstool but I'm not sure. It's probably six or seven in across!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come on!, lets see some more leathers. There is a toadstool thread on RC (gasp) that is seven pages long. Don't be shy nano-reefers. ANY leather will do.

Okay, here are some shots of a sweet little leather I used to have. One day in a semi-local lfs I found this tiny little leather frag--which immediately made me realize why they are called toadstools:

 

 

It was barely the size of the tip of my pinky finger.

 

This next shot is blurry, but it does show how the distinctive two types of Sarcophyton tentacles looked when the coral was closed:

 

 

And here's an image of it when it had grown a little bit:

 

 

Sadly, it withered and died not long after. I have no idea why...all my other softies were fine, params were fine, etc. Allelelopathy? Anyway, I was most sorry to lose it!

[MDeth]

[luscien]

you know what that thing looks like don't you? haha

 

 

uhh, a small leather toadstool??

 

you perverts make me sick!

 

i was thinking the same thing too, dose this mean were both pervs?

luscien

[c est ma]

Yes.

 

 

 

 

LOL! Everyone thinks that. Good thing that didn't become the common name of this coral...

[willyboy]

lol. that would be funny. It's like, "I'll sell you my (slang term here) leather for $20"

 

Keep em coming (wrong word). These are some nice leathers!

[c est ma]

And size would matter...

I'm sorry, I really am, but I just can't seem to help myself!

 

 

[tinyreef]

ew.

 

[willyboy]

do you have any leathers weetabix?

[Weetabix7]

I don't, sorry.

I just dropped in cause the thread title sorta caught my eye.

And I was having a bad night and needed to engage in a little comic relief.

Hope no one minded too much.

 

I did have a small green finger leather frag once, but I traded it into my lfs cause I suspected that it was engaging in coral warfare and I just had a 5.5 AGA at the time so I didn't really have enough room to put it off in a corner by itself.

 

Carry on!

Mines shedding ATM but will post pics when it's out and open again.

Here is a shot of my neon green toadie surrounded by Yukon Gold zoas I got from reefapprentice. My B&W clowns like to hide under the toadie.

 

Hey! That looks like my avatar!

[LoBo]

hey, how do you tell if its shedding or just dieing, cause mine is starting to get wrinkly @ the base.
