Not directed to anyone here in particular but people are always seeking the “Weeping Willow” and wanna pay $20 for it when they find it. Lol

Only within canada but the whole salix genus contain IBA in the vascular cambium so find a mature tree you like, take some cuttings (cut at 45°) and then stick them in water they'll root without rooting hormone, rooting hormones active ingredient is IBA.I need one of those too do you guys ship? serious question
Japanese Weeping Willow
beautiful do you have an adult photo of it all grown up?
Yes. Probably affected by flow, light, parameters, and available nutrients. My frag from Aquacorals looked just like the photo on Penny’s (Aquacorals) website. I picked it out in person. Penny’s frag tanks have very little flow and low lighting from what I recall. My soft coral tank has a ton of flow and high PAR, more than enough to grow SPS.Do you think flow and light effects how long the polyps are?
I bought a toadstool with very long polyps as a frag at the LFS but its shorter in my tank (but still long). I assume just different conditions.
Tank lights are off right now. This photo is a couple of months old. The Aquacorals weeping willow is on the left, is 3 years old, and started off the size of a golf ball. The Marinefarmers weeping willow is on the right, is around 1.5 years old, and started off the size of a marble.can you post pics for us?
I emailed MF a while back to ask about WW. he said he is no longer calling it a weeping willow but a long polyp toad. i appreciate the honesty as he said so many vendors are calling anything with above average polyps WW.
anyway I ( we) would love to see what you got. did you get the green or the tan one?
I agree instead of pointing out all the games why not share one of the top reasons I got into this hobby was to learn and share with ppl that shared my interestsI'm probably going to sound obdurate -- but who made Jake Adams the gatekeeper of this particular...cultivar? Was this done by popular vote? A consensus in the scientific community after a forensic analysis? The fish in his tanks? I'm sure he's a lovely person, but I'm not sure what the point might be of an article that posits the writer as the owner of a supposedly unique (or vanishingly rare) specimen and who is also, seemingly, denying that opportunity to everyone else: I have it, and you don't!
Boasting? 10,000 reefkeeping XP? A new badge? Or maybe he's a secret mad fragger and is about to unleash a forest of weeping willow frags onto the world!! Okay, I don't believe that last one either.

This tank is my boyfriend's tank. He manages all the nutrients and what nots. I manage naming and just taking pictures of it. Lol. I just know our weeping willow. Was a little piece with an afro. Which is why I named him Bob after Bob Ross the famous painter. And that was almost 2 years ago. And he is massive. I really have not seen one as big as him yet. And the little ones are growing big as well. My boyfriend moved him around in the tank a few times. At one time we thought it was dying. But he was actually splitting. I know one thing they don't like to be moved. So since he's been in the spot where he's at now he has flourished.I know at least one of the WW sources (might have been Jake Adams) said that they seem to extend better when treated more like SPS with higher light and flow. I think that my long polyp toadstool did do better higher up in the tank with my acros but I had to move it because it was starting to crowd its neighbors. A little less happy in its new spot. And for the record, definitely not a classic WW even though it was sold as one. Still a pretty coral but that vendor again.
