Tigahboy Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 The one thing that I was interested in getting at RAP, but could not find, was a Japanese deepwater toadstool. Whenever I saw a funky looking toadstool, I'd ask the vendor what kind it was and was disappointed every time they said it was just a Tyree or something else. If anyone has leads on a Japanese deepwater, LMK please. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

May need to check it out again, though his store hours are like impossible. LOL. Quote Link to comment

I'm hoping to go green-heavy with this and leave a lot of the scape/peaks exposed. But if it ends up looking like crap, I'll add some color. LOL. 1 3 Quote Link to comment
Opotter Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Marine farmers has the japanese deep water toad. Good reputation. Haven’t bought from them myself, but I’ve been eyeing some of his frags for a while. Now gonna have to wait with the new tank being set up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Hey, any regular tank can be a peninsula, and any peninsula can be a regular tank. You just have to believe. And yes, still need a catchy title. 1 Quote Link to comment

haks Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Did you see Jake's article on the Weeping Willow over at ReefBuilders? "If you think you have one of the Weeping Willow’s sibling hit us up @reefbuilders on InstaGram as we’d love to see it, and if it fits the bill we might even consider trading for some of the original weeping willow toadstool leather coral." 2 Quote Link to comment

Why can't there be multiple weeping willows? LOL. Either way, it was super unique and was the first coral to catch my eye at that vendor's booth. 7 minutes ago, haks said: Did you see Jake's article on the Weeping Willow over at ReefBuilders?

Yup, that's the only reason why I haven't been calling it a "Weeping Willow" despite it being sold to me as such. I don't want the Weeping Willow Police or Jake Adams to come after me. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I've been on the hunt for a japanese deepwater for a HOT minute ever since I first saw one online. I've seen one and it wasn't for sale at one of the old LFS's in my area. Tiny base but it had some amazing polyps. 2 Quote Link to comment

Here's the link to the article for those interested: https://reefbuilders.com/2019/07/30/video-details-the-attributes-of-true-weeping-willow-leather/ And of course this would be new to LA's Diver's Den https://www.liveaquaria.com/divers-den/product/476207/tcn-tyree-limited-edition-neon-polyp-toadstool-leather-coral 1 Quote Link to comment
