There are a lot of long polyp toadstools that go by the weeping willow name now, ever since Jake Adams named his. If I remember right after he passed it was lost. Chris Meckley from ACI acquired a piece from the person that originally gave it to Jake. He is currently growing out that one and I...
Let me know if they (reef crystals) get back to you. I haven't heard from them yet about the report or results on my bad salt lot #. I did get 2 buckets of salt out of it though. The first one they sent was the wrong one so they sent another one.
