very nice. are you going to frag it off or let it grow beside the other one?

 

[kycstudios]

I am going to frag it off with a hacksaw and grow 2 others hopefully and place in 2 other tanks once they are healthy.....

Mine is huge like that also, thing just keeps getting bigger and bigger. So you just hack it to frag it? Seems simple enough

 

[swreefers]

How do you cut that thing with a hack saw and were? I have never fragged anything but this would seem to be difficult unlike corals with stalks or branches its one big juicy tissue right?

....The toadstool is budding at the bottom; what i meant was I could cut the rock a little near the place where they are budding also cutting the small toadstools from the mother colony with a hack saw.

I am no expert but it looks like a different species from what I have got..... I have a finger leather with polyps like that...

An unhappy toadstool most likely. My toadstool looked like that when I first got it, and over the weeks grew it's little polyps. It doesn't look like the above, but it has similar polyps throughout the whole thing. I'd get a picture, but the tank lights aren't on yet.

 

[onecrzyboi4u]

hmm wonder why it's not happy.. been in the tank for a year now..

It looks like a Devils hand Leather to me not a toad.

Toadstool?

Toadstool?

Toadstool?

What does this one look like? A toadstool, a massage chair, or a polyp buffet?

 

[crispyreef]

It looks like a toadstool that took on a funny growth. Probably the result of when it was cut and mounted.

 

[+++TheZombie+++]

I did not know there was a such thing as a devils hand leather?

 

[crispyreef]

Yes, it's a lobophytum.
