Guess That Frag!

isn't that a sarcophyton? toad stool? never heard of umbrella coral do you have a pic of the mother?

That don't look like a umbrella to me a umbrella is a large mushroom
But may end up as one after it grows out haven't seen one as a
frag

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#i found this on the net but it is pretty much what the mother looks like. it may be a little thinner through the top but here it is#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG alt="image file name: 2kc2697f026d.jpg" src="http://www.captivereefing.com/richedit/upload/2kc2697f026d.jpg" border=0#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

yep sarco..

Sarcophytun sp. for sure.The reason your appears shriveled could be that it's in its "recessive mode". Leather corals undergo a period of recession where they will close up(sometimes for 3-4weeks).As they emerge,they will shed a waxy coating
which is toxic to corals/fish.The frequency that they do this can be as much as once a month or only twice a yr.It just depends on the species and the tank.

It's a sarco...no doubt about it! I should frag some and get them ready for sale.
I have leather toadstools that are ready to go, and I'm selectively doing zoo trades with people. Reason being, the zoo's have to be like the ones (including the rares) I have. There are so many I'm looking for, and they are hard to get. Some people are actually trying to sell 1 zoo polyp for $8/polyp. Don't worry, if you were to ever buy from me, I'd never set such ridiculous prices. I trade or sell to CR members only!
Did you see the mother colony of your little sarco frag? You're in for some surprises with it. You just never know what your cool shape is going to be when it grows up! :)
