Here are some of my softies...

A mostly tank shot showing:

A leather finger that was ravaged by nudis when it came from live aquaria. I only saved a couple pieces. this piece was about 2" long 10 mos ago. as you can see... it has been happy ever since.

In the center is a long polyp toad stool. I got it as a hitch hiker on live rock for $0.75. I thought it was a gumpy sponge at the time.

On the right is a kenya coral that is also about 10 mos old. It is now growing in about 6 places in the tank where pieces broke off and took root (including the kenya that is there right now). I had to give away the original because it was way too big. It is a frag factory.

I LOVE SOFTIES!!!

Neon Green Toadstool

So is this rare? I don't really have a lot of leathers but thought this one is so cool. It is super neon, I got it from a guy who said it was an LE - which I could care less - but its super cool. Its neon in any - or no light. Should I directly feed him to get him to grow? As he grows will he stay this green?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!







And what is this? It is also from the same guy who said it's rare, its almost as neon, its a very bright green. Its growing kinda quick. Sorry for the bad pic. When he closes up he looks like neon green cauliflower, otherwise it looks neon yellow/green.
