Any chance you might provide the Latin name? I have several Mushrooms, but without the Latin name I don't know if you are asking about those or not.

Thanks Bob. I have already read up on them.whatI'm looking for is hands on experience, eg. Survival rate or how long it hung on for. J&L told me they love really stong light like a 400w :eek: . I'm figuring if the Monti Caps are growing quite well under my 2-55w PC's and my 2-110w VHO 03's them I was wondering if it would do well in my tank :question: :eek:
I already have two other Toadies

Ahhh this stupid keyboard is crapping out on me :evil: the spacebar seems to want to delete stuff :evil:

Bob it is of the Sarcophyton sp., but that doesn't really tell much cause there is a few in that sp. Saltwaterconnection has a nice pic of one I'll see if I can get it on here.

I have one under PC lighting and overdrivien T8 bulbs. It grew well, but it went from bright yellow to a light brown color.

Mak 06-03-2003 07:51 AM

Thanks Tigger. Maybe I should get rid of the 2 PC's and throw on a couple more VHO's :question: :eek:

I've got a Sarcophyton Elegans which looks like that. Its regularly called a Yellow Fiji Leather or Yellow Tongan Leather. No special requirements. I had it under 110 watts for about a year and it was fine before upgrading to MH. No target feeding.

Here's mine:

Thanks Sam I'am sold. Yours is a Beauty :mrgreen: . Maybe I still throw on a couple more VHO's :grab: .

Doug 06-03-2003 01:20 PM

Sam, thats a beaut.

Mak, mine love my 400w bulbs, but are almost 3ft from them. I also think good pc or vho lighting is fine.
