Leather is for Lovers Thread!

Good find on that video, Annette! That is awesome! I never knew leathers spawned like that.

Mollie would love to lay in that thing

Pretty sure that green one is a devils hand leather

The 'devils hand' Sinularias usually have longer 'fingers' than that, so it might just be a 'finger leather' sinularia. I know, big difference

She would! And she'd look adorable all comfy on that big toad

Here's one that doesn't look to have much blues in it and it's a pretty light yellow.

Right - the Fiji yellow leather, Sarcophton elegans, doesn't fluoresce at all and really only looks good without a lot of blue light. Harry's leather has a dark base and fluorescent green polyps, so not quite the same.

I wasn't comparing to his because they're different corals, I just liked the light yellow though, and it was more open than wavy.

[HarryPotter]

Jedi, here you go. Please don't tell me this isn't yellow.

Sorry Annette, I'm getting my threads mixed up, that reply is relevant only to other threads lol.

[FlowerMama]

Oh brother. It's still yellow.

[HarryPotter]

I KNOW! ITS YELLOW! Why is that even something for debate... We know our colors lol

I wouldn't be concerned. It's a pretty coral, don't feel like you have to defend yourself to anyone.

True, thanks. I'm happy with it and no matter what the hell it is do not regret my purchase. The insinuation that I was either editing photos or color blind was annoying me

[FlowerMama]

This is cool the way it morphs.

And an educational video

I know, the whole thing, fish and scape is gorgeous. What's the green toadish looking thing below the large toadstool? I love it's waves. I've watched this video and the one that Gena found several times now. And I can't believe the chunk of yellow on the left, I thought those were NPS?

The green toadish looking thing is a short polyped toadie, the yellow/orange thing is a Sun coral. It is indeed an NPS. There's a short polyp green and a long polyp green toadstool. That short polyped one sometimes ships poorly.

I"m loving all these videos you're finding, Annette!

 

I traded in a bunch of stuff I didn't really want yesterday and came back with a stereonepthya and this toad. It finally is starting to open this morning although I noticed the flow and the weight of the cap tipped it over overnight

 

[Newstead]

STOP. Stop it now. Y'all are killing me with these videos and pics and after seeing Annette's toadstool (and Gertie!), while I stare at 75 gallons of water, sand and rock. I feel like Godot, waiting on the cycling to be done while my wish list just keeps growing.

Who are you talking to in that video lol?

Great video thanks for posting

Here's a gorgeous tank with a sprinkling of leather that's spawning. I love how it just stands out.

 

That's pretty cool! I had a really big toadstool a few years ago and never noticed it spawn like that!

[StinkyBunny]

Those giant leathers are like a giant chemical plant. If you don't believe me, put an acro downstream from one and watch the ensuing mayhem.

And next time clean the glass before taking videos of the tan leather

 

Dang how many threads are you going to post that thing in Looks nice though Hairball! Good score

I always loved the big toadstool in the club presidents 180 gal.

 

 

look at that beast

 

 

I went over there for some frags other day and was disappointed to see the leathers where no longer in there.

At least you're cycling!!!! You saw my empty black tank! ha ha ha. I didn't get myself out of bed early enough today. I was going to empty the last 4-5 c of gravel and then take a razor to the back of it to remove the black. But I realize Easter is at the end of this month. I need to stop at the Petco tomorrow after work and find out if they're having a $1 per gallon sale and then sell this one to a member in the local club. I know I get more interested as I look at these flowy videos. Even my gsp I like on the lone rock it's on because it's flowy. I wonder will leathers and rock flowers be ok together? toxicity issues when it's sloughing.
