When fully extended, the polyps create a soft, almost grassy appearance across the cap and add far more movement than you would normally expect from a Toadstool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToadstools have a distinctive mushroom-like growth form, developing a stalk topped by an increasingly broad cap as they mature. The visible polyps are feeding structures extending from the surface of the colony, and long-polyp varieties can look dramatically different depending on whether those polyps are open or retracted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't just a standard Toadstool with a bit more colour. The combination of neon fluorescence and genuinely long polyps gives it loads of movement and makes a mature colony look almost like a completely different type of coral. You still get the hardy, substantial growth that makes Toadstools such good reef inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA hardy, photosynthetic soft coral that doesn't require direct feeding. Moderate varied flow encourages good extension and helps it naturally shed its surface layer. Toadstools periodically close and develop a smooth or waxy appearance before shedding a thin film and reopening ? normal behaviour for a healthy leather coral.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627165966672,"sku":"THRC-0073","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/long-polyp-toadstool-neon-25","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
