Hi Everyone!
Making this thread to document the growth of the Biota Weeping Willow strain.
Thought there might be some interest as this has been a fairly hot coral lately. Of course, there is the legendary reef builders article and some YouTuber hobbyists who are pretty into softie collecting.
Interestingly the description of biota matched the reef builders article pretty much spot on mentioning hanging polyps when the flow is cut. That being said it seems like they just removed that from the description on the store page
Was on the email wait list for a frag of this so I bought it super quick, $140 including shipping (Yikes)
This has to be one of the smallest leather coral frags I've ever seen. Definitely not fully extended yet but it's TINY. Size of a few Zoa polyps. Somewhat bummed out about that tbh.
This is going to be the third toadstool I have. One is a medium-sized green tip with fairly long polyps which is growing quite fast. Another is a very large green body toadstool with short polyps (Likley wild-collected).
Pic of the frag is below..... will move it to a frag rack where fewer snails and stuff will tick it off haha, update again when it is hopefully more open.
