Just wondering if this is what people call a green weeping willow toadstool? If not then what would be the snazzy name? :)

Thanks
I wish I could see the video, do you have a photo?

I recently picked up a pretty nice neon green Lobophytum and can’t wait to see what it’s PE is like in my tank. When I saw it in the LFS it was neon green polyps on the neon green base.

It could be a weeping willow or a strain of it however it’s not likely to be the true weeping willow as that true colony only got fragged once and went to 3 people of which they never fragged it and sold it on to my knowledge.
It looks like a weeping willow toadstool, one test you can do to see if it is a weeping willow toadstool is too turn off all water flow and see if the polyps droop over the crown of the toadstool making it look like a weeping willow tree

That lobophytum will be nice. Mine is similar looking closed and has bright green polyps. See picture. Warning, it likes to drop babies all the time. The long tentacle toadstool is very nice!!!!

Yours is beautiful, mine looks identical when opened up. It’s truly eye catching and I look forward to having frags of it.
Here’s a close up photo of it open under white lights and a filter.
