most expensive softie?

[SURForDIE]

Softies usually seem pretty cheap with exception to designer zoas and jawbreakers.

What are some of the more expensive softies?

 

[Dapg8gt]

Yuma' shrooms.. Especially the rainbow ones.

 

[KirbyBTF]

WWC Bounce Mushroom...upwards of like 500+ for a single shroom

 

[SURForDIE]

There is one on wwc for 650

My wife would cut me. Like with a knife.

Bounce mushrooms or the RR beast shroom...

Yellow Fiji leathers can still catch a hefty price IMO. Nothing outrageous though like the bounce mushrooms are priced.

shrooms are not soft corals thus their own forum topic.

Mushroom corals are indeed considered soft corals, however, due to the diversity and popularity they receive a 'sub-forum' category. Same with Zoanthid/Palythoas.

The prices for the bounce shrooms are outragous. I didn't know any softie could go for that much

 

[SaltyWalter]

The Australian green polyp leathers (crown leather) can go for 150+, and blue sympodium used to be 50 for a small frag but has since dropped. Can't think of anything else that's not a zoa/paly or shrooms

this one cost me a pretty penny (for a tiny frag, no less!)

a Corallimorpharian is not a soft coral even though many may consider it one its morphology is very different- it is closer related to an anemone or stoney corals -

here is a link with some basic info but do your own research and stop the spread of misinformation

are you related at all to A. Grandis from the zoanthid forum here on RC? if not, you guys should introduce yourselves to each other!

an odd, pricey softie I picked up...still can't get a definite ID on this...the interwebs has nothing similar from what I can see so far

Neon green toadstool. It's just a baby but as it gets bigger the tentacles will get a little shorter and it will be really green.

yes...that's kinda obvious; it's definitely sarcophyton sp ...but what species? i guess I shd have been more clear. However, the tentacles will NOT get shorter....see pic, below.

in any event, this pic should relate just how different it is from the other available 'neon green' toads out there:

here's what it looks like at a lfs, with constant, gentle flow, and a tunze wavebox....insane tentacle extension!....also you can see the Japanese neon green toadstool and the tyree neon green toadstool for comparison on greenyness

Cornbred has a similar toadstool listed as a rare Japanese for $199. The polyps aren't as long in his pic, but the base looks similar.
