What type of leather?

[darkcirca]

I acquired this leather back in the end of July/beginning of August. I traded a chocolate chip star for it (was living in the fuge and I wanted it gone). She had no idea what it was called (as she just got the tank off someone else).

Not the best picture, but it's that cream/tan color with a bunch of little polyps sticking out.

I was thinking Toadstool, but I honestly have no idea.

Sometimes called Umbrella Leathers as well.

Thanks for the help with the ID, glad to finally know. I guess my $10 starfish was a great trade for this thing. Now I must figure out how to frag it, as it is getting pretty big.

Razor blade. a few clean cuts and youll have small bits ready to propagate. Let the pieces sit in a pile of rubble to attach themselves, or put a toothpick through them (if the chunks are big enough) and use that to anchor them to the rocks. Those are Real easy to frag.

Thanks! This thing is as big as my hand, and I don't need anything that big, so I definitely will go about doing this.

Thanks for all the help.

I would be careful with the toothpick idea that usually just splits the stalk and they sometimes will die.

 

[LPSkeeper]

to frag a toadstool do you need to cut off some of the stalk with it or just any part?

 

[JetCat USA]

any part.
