I recently went to my LFS and saw a really cool toadstool there that I was considering to buy, so I thought I would start a thread for people to post pics of theirs and possibly what conditions the toadstools need to thrive.
Thanks!

hello, can i ask what the shed looks like. is it like a clear coat or kinda like some white chunks when it comes off? because i have a leather, he is healthy as an ox(knock on wood) and just shut itself. thanks. here is a pic when it was full open.
and, is this the 'sucker thingy'?

WOW!
Thanks for sharing all the pics guys! They look awesome! I'm pretty sure I want to go get it. Are there any last comments/complaints about this coral?

Im not even sure. I bought it as a leather mushroom toadstool. It is a slight brown color. Im going to assume Sarcophyton sp. I think its getting ready to split. The middle of the stalk attached itself to a rock slightly higher up and its folding in a weird way. The polyps are about 3-4 inches in length. If it doesnt split, i might frag it for a trade.
