Been on this hunt for this leather for about 6 months now lol and I think I finally got it, the story about where it originated and how it had exchanged many hands is very awesome
Great now I have a new coral on my want list! Absolutely beautiful! I know a lot of people really under estimate on how much light and flow leathers love.
Wow super fantastic video sir when I grow up I want to be like you know all the stuff about saltwater aquarium.... I always like saltwater aquarium I can't afford it but now I do .... Thanks you so much all your videos in UA-cam..
Wow, what a beautiful coral! Aussie’s overlook the beauty of leathers, but that is one coral I wish we we had here! 😍 Thanks for sharing such a personal coral with us Jake.
Jake, I have been watching that tank grow through videos, in this video it is really filling in nicely, everything looks so happy. Such a beautiful tank, thank you for sharing.
So beautiful! I could watch this video all day! I am starting my first reef tank. I have had freshwater my whole life and I am so happy I found your channel. What an amazing and healthy reef! I hope I am able to find one as beautiful someday!
Loving the content of the recent videos ! What a Genius idea, love the idea of sharing something truly special with your fans and not just products or merchandise.
That's amazing you've had it for so long you should make frags of it just to make sure it lives on,the tank looks so much better since you cleaned it up some great video.👌💝✌
I have one that is identical to yours! I found mine in my LFS. The first time I saw one of these spectacular leathers was on UA-cam. I could not believe my luck for I had searched forever it seemed to find one. Thanks for sharing this!
Great video. Funny I just went to a LFS and the fish guy told me their was no such thing as a weeping willow coral. He told me I must have seen a large toodstool that was drooping because it was destressed.
BTW THAT LEATHER IS GORGEOUS, ITS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN THIN TENTACLED VARIATIONS OF XENIA COMBINED WITH LEATHERS! I just got a 3 cm frag of a fluorescent green toadstool. Hope it grows fast.
Beautiful coral, Jake. Thanks for sharing! I don’t recall ever hearing you talk about why you went bare-bottom in your personal aquarium. I’d love your thoughts on whether you have ever regretted it and why?
I got one when I started reefing last year BUT it did not make it because I was a noobie. I'm still searching for one with no avail. That one looks awesome Jake!
I placed my green long tentacle toad stool leather near rocks. As it grows it leaves behind a bit of flesh which grows out. Have so many now I trade with lfs for other corals. I've been fragging leathers since the late 80s.
It’s super pleasant to hear you talk about your corals. We can really feel that you, like us, share a passion for those animals. Do you mind making a video talking about ur clams? I love them and I can tell you do as well!
Jake, Great Video! Whats the name of the song at the beginning? Can you start to post the title of the songs in your description? Keep up the great work!
@@ReefBuildersVideo , that's quite the goal! But not out of reach for you with the work you put into editing and at the pace you're going. You've got the eye for it.
The first Coral that got me into this hobby many many years ago was a long polyp leather. I’m looking to buy a weeping willow for a sentimental reasons but how do you know if it’s a weeping willow vs long polyp when the frags are so small?
I normally don't do leather in my SPS tank. I'm about 60 miles south of you I would love to get a piece what's the procedure to get something like that from you?
So I take it the TCN Weeping Willows do not grow up like yours then? I have four different Sarcos in my wee tank now and was thinking of getting a TCN one that shows up on Live Aquaria fairly often. Totally a mixed reef in the tiny tank LOL, I think my light ozone use (in the good old Remora Pro) is the only thing that allows them all to coexist with the SPS/LPS/Shrooms.
😍🤩😍 That thing is indeed phenomenal! 😁 I wonder if they’re still around and for sale....being in Canada makes it unlikely I’d be in a position to “win” one. 🤔 I enjoyed this video!
Question since you aren't going to be selling anything would you be willing to frag swap? I live four hours from Denver but i visit sometimes to check out the fish stores and I went to reefstock this year. I think it would be neat if you did a monthly frag swap at the studio or something!
I want one but I’m in the uk I can’t find it anywhere, it would fill the front corner of my 25G nano really well, and also what’s that green leather next to it? 😊
Is there a way to identify the different toadstool corals? Fiji leather long tentacle vs weeping willow etc etc etc. color varieties , polyp varieties etc?

Beautiful leather, crazy polyp extension.
Awesome story behind the coral as well. Talk about a long term relationship, lol
Speech less thank you for your time.
Really have been enjoying your content recently Jake, keep it up!
Daily Reefing yeah! The same as Daily! Great stuff Jake! :)
If you can’t get relaxed watching that beautiful coral sway and flow just keep watching. What an awesome example of mother nature’s finest.
Wow super fantastic video sir when I grow up I want to be like you know all the stuff about saltwater aquarium.... I always like saltwater aquarium I can't afford it but now I do .... Thanks you so much all your videos in UA-cam..
I would like too have one putting in my saltwater aquarium...
I would like to get back in to Saltwater anything. It's just a reminder that I have to find true love in my work.
Wow, what a beautiful coral! Aussie’s overlook the beauty of leathers, but that is one coral I wish we we had here! 😍 Thanks for sharing such a personal coral with us Jake.
Can I give a thumb up, if I am not from Aussie? lol
Jake,

Hey Jake, its me, the tall black guy you see at almost every show. Yup that one - who is taller than Billy Pipes - Put me in the running for a frag.
Loving the content of the recent videos ! What a Genius idea, love the idea of sharing something truly special with your fans and not just products or merchandise.
That's amazing you've had it for so long you should make frags of it just to make sure it lives on,the tank looks so much better since you cleaned it up some great video.👌💝✌
Man that would be an amazing prize. I absolutely love that leather! I’ve been drooling over it for a while now.
Looks like angel hair. Love it!
I’m so in love with that Weeping Willow Coral! Sooo beautiful! I’m so glad I found this channel...
I have one that is identical to yours! I found mine in my LFS. The first time I saw one of these spectacular leathers was on UA-cam. I could not believe my luck for I had searched forever it seemed to find one. Thanks for sharing this!
i love the music in all your videos and of course the content exellent
I would love a frag of your Weeping Willow. Been looking a them for quite a while now. Keep us updated!
Beautiful Leather
Stunning coral send some over to the uk 🇬🇧 another great video until the next one 👍

Can’t believe I missed this awesome story! Love it! What a stunning piece.
That is a very pretty leather coral! Love the videos!
Beautiful coral, Jake. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t recall ever hearing you talk about why you went bare-bottom in your personal aquarium. I’d love your thoughts on whether you have ever regretted it and why?
Awesome videos man ! I was in the hobby for 7 years and got out of it. It’s been 2 years and your vids are getting me pumped to get back in it.
That’s the best kind of comments I could hope for.
I got one when I started reefing last year BUT it did not make it because I was a noobie. I'm still searching for one with no avail. That one looks awesome Jake!
Absolutely stunningly beautiful leather coral. Thanks for sharing the story about it.
Very nice leather! Ive never seen anything like that toadstool you got! Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
so cool to see a coral that has been in the hobby for so long!
That's awesome man... Thanks for sharing

They’ll get their turn.
Beautiful Coral 🪸 thanks for sharing your story 👍

Very cool, love that coral such awesome movement. . Thanks for sharing Jake!
Love it! Want it! If I can't have a frag of it, I'll be weeping. :(
That type of giveaway would be cool, very nice leather
Man that’s a nice coral. Would definitely love a frag from that weeping willow. Thanks again for another great video Jake
Love the content Jake, keep it up!
Did you feel your heart skip?
Jake, I have to say that is an awesome leather and I hope one day to find a pc like it in my tank. Thanks for another off the chart video.
Beautiful story and a beautiful coral

That is a really cool piece kinda jealous.
Beautiful coral reef looking grate mate 👍

That is really cool I have a special coral that was the first one I ever got and has been with me through the years and it will always with me

Great post and beautiful coral
Every time i see this video makes me want to drive up to Denver Colorado to get my piece for my pico reef
exellant music coral is wow...
Ok its the future now, hook it uuuppp ! 🌊🐠
That’s a beautiful coral and the story behind it..
Jake, your editing is on point. Keep it up.
Thanks! Always trying to improve the production quality so one day you guys think you're watching NatGeo or Discovery.
@@ReefBuildersVideo , that's quite the goal! But not out of reach for you with the work you put into editing and at the pace you're going. You've got the eye for it.
Great story man, thanks for sharing
That's super awesome man!
The first Coral that got me into this hobby many many years ago was a long polyp leather. I’m looking to buy a weeping willow for a sentimental reasons but how do you know if it’s a weeping willow vs long polyp when the frags are so small?
I came quicker than RTN lol
the only reef joke thats made me chuckle
Sorry I didn't understand. LoL ♿ don't tell me. Sorry nope nothing. No
That's beautiful.
Can you please post your reed tank water par ?? Thanks
Lovely
ANGEL HAIR!!!!!
Love the prize idea!
Hello reefing friend 😁🌴
Sweet coral!
I normally don't do leather in my SPS tank. I'm about 60 miles south of you I would love to get a piece what's the procedure to get something like that from you?
Amazing story!!!
#iwantjakesweepingwillow
I want one!!
I would want one
So I take it the TCN Weeping Willows do not grow up like yours then? I have four different Sarcos in my wee tank now and was thinking of getting a TCN one that shows up on Live Aquaria fairly often.

Beautiful🤣
Awesome
Soft Corals make a reef.. that’s a nice tank but without the movement of those soft corals it would not look as much like the ocean.
😍🤩😍 That thing is indeed phenomenal! 😁 I wonder if they’re still around and for sale....being in Canada makes it unlikely I’d be in a position to “win” one. 🤔 I enjoyed this video!
Reefgrrl let me know if you ever find something similar, I want one too.
Reefgrrl let me know if you ever find something similar, I want one too.
I got one recently from DiversDen via LiveAquaria... Not sure if you're able to get stuff from them up in Canada however.. Good luck with the hunt!
Thanks Jeff!
Are you running your lights around a 20k spectrum? What is a good par range for this coral?
I need a frag of that soooo bad. 😅
yellow tan cute!!!✨
I keep watching this video, would be an epic giveaway
Question since you aren't going to be selling anything would you be willing to frag swap? I live four hours from Denver but i visit sometimes to check out the fish stores and I went to reefstock this year. I think it would be neat if you did a monthly frag swap at the studio or something!
ReefStock will be your best bet, I’ll do my best to have frags ready by then.
Where can I buy this weeping leather?!
I've been on the hunt for that for over 10 years. I keeping buying frags and none come close to that...
I want one but I’m in the uk I can’t find it anywhere, it would fill the front corner of my 25G nano really well, and also what’s that green leather next to it? 😊
I wonder if this is the same as the TCN version on divers den. By far a favorite of mine. One day...
No it definitely is not - so many unscrupulous companies slapped my name on corals they had had for years just to sell them
@@ReefBuildersVideo That's unfortunate. Anything for a $. Amazing coral anyhow and amazing content.
Is there a way to identify the different toadstool corals? Fiji leather long tentacle vs weeping willow etc etc etc. color varieties , polyp varieties etc?
How would you frag it?? I guess it is a soft coral?
thank you show your fish.
Awesomr story!!! ❤️
That is a great coral. How do you frag something like that? or any leather for that matter?
Sharp scissors - cutting is the easy part, mounting is a different challenge.
i would love to know how those work out. i am looking into a new pump to replace my old mp20 pump
