Show me your Japanese Green Toadstool

[versach000]

Do you have Japanese Green Toadstool?
Please post some pics

i doubt anyone has a true toadstool from japan as it is illeagle to export corals from there. however I have a green toadstool just hard to see the green in my pics.

It's legal to export softies from there but only if:
1. They have the proper permits (very few of which are issued), and
2. Not so much as a grain of sand comes with the coral.

It's kind of a moot point in this case, though, as the "japanese green toadstools" aren't even found in japan.

I have a Green sarcophyton, imported from Japan (I live in Sweden), I have a few frags so it does grow but very slowly. I would like to know more about what they eat and what lighting they need.
Sometimes the body is pale but when it is happy for some time the skin is green as the same color as the polyps, and the polyps are always fully green
see picture, this is under blue lighte/actinic, it is still green under 14k Metal halide but not so neon.
anybody know more about these beautiful softcorals, where are they from, what depth etc?

steve tyree has one very similar. i had one and went to frag it and it died. i paid about 50.00 for a 2" piece

I do not know if this is from Japan but it is 8 inches across and the polyps are green.

Hawkins blue was 12" across

Green toadstool was $25 from Petco about 4 years ago....I regularly trim it with scissors now.

We do have green Sarcophyton here in Japan, but they are only like the large pic in Kingfisher 62's Post. The ones being traded as 'Japanese in origin' like the one in Lindholm's post are also available in Japan (for 3000 yen) but are imported and are not from Japanese waters.
