What are your thoughts on this - is it a true weeping willow? Looks nice either way but I’d love to hear your thoughts

difficult to tell from a still picture. a video would confirm it is if the flow is off and the tentacles are dropping over. that’s the only indicator but there seem to be other strains that have a similar but not identical trait/indicator
 

i cant think

There are only 3 known true weeping willow leathers out there. Yes there are different strains that look similar, however none of them are the true weeping willow to my knowledge.

Would you happen to know how to ID the true weeping willow or is turning off the flow to see if they droop the preferred way to tell? My lfs had a couple that looked like the OP image when I went in last week. They looked nice but for the price I passed because I wasn't positive they were true weeping willow.

The only real way is through the flow being turned off.

I have this coral from Aqua Corals and in my tank it's more like long tentacle but I've read others have better weeping success. I got it just over two years ago and it is HUGE.

This is the best I can do with my phone. It's at least dinner plate size if not bigger.
