Some Leathers

[gparr]

Some shots of some of my leather/soft coral collection. I only know the name of the fourth one, which is a nephthea. I'd be happy to have ID help on the others. I'd also like to know of any source for unusual leather corals.

WOW very beautiful!!!

What is the second leather and do you collect leathers?

 

[gparr]

Thanks. I have no idea what any of them are, except the nephthea. I think the second one is some type of toadstool. I like the color. I like unusual leathers and have a small collection. The majority of my corals are LPS.

The 2nd one looks like a yellow sarcophyton of some kind, probably toadstool like you said.

The 1st one could possibly be a toadstool too? If it is, it is a small frag.

First one Sarcophyton sp. (long polyp toadstool)
Second Sarcophyton elegans (Fiji Yellow leather)
Third one looks like a sinularia sp. (spaghetti leather)
Fourth Nepthea
Fifth one possibly a devils hand leather (I think it is Lobophytum sp. but don't quote me)

Hope this helps. As far as looking for leathers I have a few frags of Fiji yellow leather right now. LMK
