I have TCN weeping willow, aquacorals weeping willow and Whitlyn aquatics weeping willow and you're correct mine are nothing close to that. Nice coral! Will you frag it someday? If you do I'd love a frag.

Is that the og ww? Or what one is it?

hey. that’s one of my babies! this is the momma. i have some frags if anyone is interested. although the polyps are longer than a traditional toadstool, this is not a true weeping willow. though it is rare to come across, i would consider it more as a cousin to the willow.

That is beautiful!

i apologize for leaving y’all hanging on this thread! I got home tonight and snapped a few shots just as the lights were going out for the night. Keep in mind the radion and both ai primes are only displaying blue spec during this photo. Under full spec during the day this weeping willow has a very nice creamy color overall but up near the polyps under full spec you can see hints of oranges where the polyp hands meet the long strands. Sorry to keep y’all waiting!

(pls ignore the dirty glass and the cyano rocks at the bottom I swear I’m doing a deep clean right after I give ya these updated photos)

No I didn’t purchase this from you this is bahamalamas lineage

Those original pics I posted weren’t a great example initially due to how small that frag actually was. I won’t argue whether this is the OG or not because I don’t have any way of truly proving that. I called it that and I was super excited about it because it came from the line bahama lama sold at 1-2 swaps here in Missouri (st Louis) he documented that on his channel. One of the dudes that bought one of his frags grew it out for a while and later on down the road I got one of the 2 lil frags he brought to that last St. Louis swap. I considered it a real og mainly because there was so much hype built up online about bl having the real thing. Ik reef builders spoke on it and some other YouTubers were hyped about it so…. Idk lol. Tbh after all the years I’ve been keeping tanks I just like the fact that this specific lineage has a bit of a story behind it here in the states. Thats good enough for me. If it isn’t the real thing then it’s not lol… oh well

here’s a few daytime photos of the toadstool when it was still pretty new. I should’ve waited until tm to post some full spec pics
