Toadstool size question


How large will a Toadstool grow. When I bought mine it was about 1 ". He is now about 10" across when extended. I vaugely recall something about reaching 20"?

How do you frag one?

I think it is more about 12in... but that could vary depending on type and I'm not sure how people measure it with folds...
As for fragging it's actually very easy... I have a thread about it awhile ago (I was nervous about to cut up my fisrt leather)
anyways you can just cut off a section and it will grow into a new one and the cut off peice will heal. Also you can just cut the entire crown off, a new one will grow from the stalk and you can chomp the crown into smaller sections.
you can check out www.garf.org they have advice a fragging many types of coral

Is it true that Toadstools have a sex? I seem to reminber reading that females grow to 10"-12", Males upto 20". Is that true? Or am I full of skimmer scum?

I know they reproduce asexually and sexually; I think they are hermaphrodetic, like a lot of sea creatures. I havn't done much studying on leathers.

I don't know how big they can get or if they are sexual or not but last time i dived up at the Great Barrier Reef we saw some monster ones at least 24"+ in some cases, it is an amazing site.
