These are absolutely fantastic corals. However as i'm looking at all of these different pictures I can't help but be a bit confused. Are these the same kinds of coral? Will small bushy ones turn into these big giant undulated ones that seem to only have polyps on the top and none on the bottom? The ones with really short polyps look like garbage whereas the long polyps look amazing. If you get one with short polyps can they extend?

Yes...as they grow, they'll attain that "bushy" look. As well, when a coral is acclimating to a new environment, it might take some time.

Hi Ben. The quickest way to find that out is to research the species. Asking for a list is not fair, since many of us will never see ALL of the available toadstools. From my experience, most that I have seen are in the tan/cream colored range. But as you can see from the pictures in the thread, oranges, greens, whites, and yellows are not all that uncommon.

Matt

Here's a shot of the monster gold crown leather. You can see where it started down on the side of the rock and has made its way up to the most light. The fish love to hang in the shade, especially the pajama cardinals:



Here's the smaller neon green:



And the yellow figi leather:
