TOADSTOOL

[lordofthereef]

I'VE HAD THIS TOADSTOOL IN MY 29G FOR A LITTLE OVER AYEAR NOW AND IT'S STARTING TO GET WAY TOOOOOOOOO BIG FOR THAT TANK. NOW, HERES MY QUESTION, WILL IT BE OK TO PULL IT OFF OF THE ROCK IT'S ATTACHED TO? I'VE DONE IT BEFORE WITH SMALL CORALS BUT NEVER ONE THIS BIIIIIIGGGG! IT WILL BE GOING INTO MY FARM TANK TO GET CHOPPED AND PROPED, AND IT ALREADY HAD THREE BABIES THAT I'M KEEPING IN THE 29G, SO I DON'T WANT TO CUT IT AT THE BASE SO IT JUST GROWS HUGE AGAIN, KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ANY ''THOUGHTS'' WILL BE GREAT!

Will you be selling any of the babies? I'd be interested in one!

 

[lordofthereef]

I'M NOT SELLING THE BABIES IT ALREADY HAD, BUT I'D BE MORE TAN HAPPY TO SELL THE CUTTINGS I TAKE,(PROBLY ABOUT TEN TO FIFTEEN). THE ONLY THING IS THOUGH, IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR THEM TO REGAIN THEIR NORMAL SHAPE AGAIN. I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

IME you cant kill leathers if they are healthy and you keep a good tank.

go to garf.org. Do some searching there. They have a step by step of how to prop leathers, specifically toadstools. Great info. I've done it several times to mine with no problems what so ever. My propped golden toadstool polyps are actually green from feeding DT's! (I'm assuming here.)
