Weeping Williow

[MichaelB]

I bought this frag a few weeks back was sold to me as a biota weeping willow frag.

Frag sits on a 3inch square tile. It's currently 2 inches in my tank. It was closer to 4 when I saw it at the shop.
I had it next to my neon toadstools, and singularia but for some reason it made them all retract, so moved it across the tank and all the other lesthers puffed back up.

Does anyone here have one, pictures of one, or experience with one, i'm trying to assertain if the one I have is more or less actually representative of what it was sold to me as?

Also If you had any recommendations on placement and rough par it would be helpful. It's polyps didn't like the amount of par my other leathers did, as it doesn't strech out as far as it did in the store or the same day I put it in the tank..

Thanks, I knew they released chemicals, but was thinking it was with other types of corals, not towards other leathers. I was falsely assuming they were like zoas, or acans and space between them didn't matter if they were touching.

I've looked over the list, I also read a few online articles somewhere that said they won't fall over until they are larger in size?

Only can say based on a visual comparsion I haven't seen another toadstool in person with polyps as long as this one shows, despite it being a small frag.

These polyps move about but not a easily as those in the video.
