White Willow Toadstool

Sarcophyton sp. - This elegant White Willow Toadstool cultured at Biota Palau is hardy, colorful, and moves mesmerizingly in the flow. This variety is truly an odd-ball among toadstool corals. Under the right conditions, the polyps can become so long that they can be mistaken for a torch coral at first glance.

Toadstools get their name from their unique form - a wide top on a narrow stalk similar to terrestrial mushrooms. Create a fairy forest of toadstools in your aquarium with our variety of toadstool corals. 

Most toadstool leather corals are tan or blandly colored, but this is a special variety aquacultured for its beautiful coloration and extra long polyps.

This species is easy to keep and adaptable, making it good for beginners. It prefers moderate to high lighting and moderate, varied water flow. Toadstools are peaceful, but allelopathic, so take care to give them enough space so they aren't too close to neighboring corals. These corals can grow quite large, making an impressive centerpiece for a larger aquarium. If you have a nano aquarium, these corals are very easy to cut and prune as needed. 

Please note, young frags may have shorter polyps. They will lengthen as the colony matures.
