:yeah: :yeah: :yeah: Drooling!!!

Yes that is a similar specimen to the ORA neon green toadstool. One way to tell is from the polyps, which are usually quite short for this species. Also, they have a very very short stalk. They tend to grow outwards rather than upwards. This species come in many shades of green, under high intense light like MH their polyps tend to become more yellow than green. Also, the level of fluorescence can vary from specimen to specimen. I will post a pic soon of 2 different morphs.

Always something more important than fish.

2 different neon green toadstools, similar morph to ORA neon green toadstool.

Taken in the same tank, under the same lights and same camera settings. Picture taken from top as normal glass distorts the true color.

I must say that the Japanese leather flesh is very pinkish!

Yea i do see the difference in the ORA and the indo-pacific species. ORA polyps extend really long and the indo-pacific ones are short so far neon green leather are seldom seen in the market. Are there red polyp ones? heard from a reefer there is such a kind.

Are both your leather from the indo-pacific shipment?

Thanks for sharing the info

ORA neon green toadstool is from Indo-pacific. It is the same species. The polyps tend to get slightly longer over time in captivity.

The Tyree toadstool from what I heard originated from Africa, with slightly longer polyps and more stalked.

Have not seen any fully red polyp ones but I have seen polyps with deep maroon brown color with yellow-orangey tips.

Nice, too bad I cant seem to be able to keep these beauties...

Btw got a video of your pulsating Sinularia?

Which species? I got 2 species which pulse, both at my friend's holding facility. One is the same species as my fibre optic sinularia, only that the polyps are not green but they pulse. Mine does not pulse though. The other species is the one that Americans usually term pulsing sinularia.

You got 2 species!!! Actually either will do.. The common Pulsing Sinularia is the white one right?

Long time never update.

Here's the xenia that I have waited more than 5 years to own. Xenia umbellata, Red Sea variant. $45 for a 1cm frag was more than worth it.

Just look at the pulse speed, 2x the speed of even the pulsing Fiji Xenias.

Bigger frags? This is the first Red Sea Xenia umbellata shipment in almost 5 years or more. LCK 201 brought them in, many pieces looked like they were dying as xenia does not ship well. I resurrected one piece which still looked ok. I should have got the rest but I was unsure if they were really the real thing. At $45 per 1cm frag they did not come cheap.
