Want to talk about a white whale of this hobby?...
The Weeping Willow Toadstool. Thats right. A toadstool is the white whale of this hobby.
Every day I wake up and think about how I can attain even a small piece of this beautiful coral.. There are so many vendors and hobbyists out there that claim they "have" a weeping willow... I have been sold now three frags that were supposed "willows" but I never get my hopes up because it takes a certain criteria to truly be a willow...
@Reefbuilders has a beautiful video and article about this exact topic.. and Jake if you see this... I am ready to claim my slice of white whale.
Regardless of what we are told and sold, I am constantly on the hunt for this coral. Do you have a weeping willow? Does it fit these criteria set? Of course I am a fan of all soft corals and toadstools... but one that eludes me is a REAL Weeping Willow!
Now lets hear from you.... have you seen this white whale?

Let’s get one thing out of the way, there are NO original Weeping Willow leather corals for sale anywhere, because I know the three people I’ve ever given frags of this coral to. However…
