Any Pics of Colored Toadstool Leathers?

[LouisianaReefer]

I would love to see pics of various colored toadstool leathers. Here is my neon green toadstool with neon polyps:

Thanks for this amazing collection of pics. Outstanding! Does anyone know where to get light pinkish, reddish, or purple frags or small colonies?

The thing I like about tans is that the lights used can give them a nice appearance. Your tan has nice dull lavender hue because of your lighting. I saw a LFS that had a huge tan with multispecturm lights on it. It made for a nice effect.

The devil hands may not be as vibrant as may but I love the contrast and shape

I have a pair that are the same as yours where the whole polyp is Green and several more with only the tip of the polyp is green.

Here is a pic of my toadstool. It's tough to see but it's a green polyp toadstool.

Btw for a size reference the tang on the bottom left is 5" long

I believe the toadstools with white caps and neon green polyps are the exact same ones as mine; however, my caps turned vibrant neon green as well after I put them under 3 watt LEDs. Under t5s the caps remained white. That is pretty amazing. I heard of zoas morphing; however, I did not know sarchophytons morphed as well. What sort of lights do you have directly above yours?

I have had them under 120w of dimmable leds other things have colored up more but not the toadstool.

The polyps are a very vibrant green. The tank looks great! Do you know how much each LED bulb puts out? Each small bulb of my fixture puts out 3 watts each. My 48" fixture runs 192 watts total. It is sort of a cheap unit as far as LED fixtures go. The url for it is is here: http://www.aquatraders.com/EVO-Quad-48-LED-Reef-Bright-p/56237.htm. I am not crazy about the lighting for some corals; however, these toadstools seem to love it.

That is a massive toadstool! If you ever frag it, or take it out for any reason, I would be curious as to how much it weighs. I head these things can get almost as big as a Volkswagon in the wild.
