An aquacultured green-polyp toadstool line offered under the 'Tyree' label, valued by keepers for an unusually saturated, even neon-green polyp color over a clean tan cap. Sellers describe it as brighter than generic green-polyp stock.
📜 Backstory
Sold as the 'Tyree Green Toadstool' by aquaculture vendors such as TerraReef and Barrier Reef Aquariums, where it is described as a long-propagated captive clone (20+ years in the trade). The 'Tyree' name is generally understood to reference well-known coral propagator Steve Tyree (Reef Farmers), though vendor listings do not document a specific founder-colony lineage, and whether it is genetically distinct from other green-polyp toadstools is debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
Give it moderate light to keep the green vivid (excess light can brown the cap) with intermittent strong flow; it is hardy, tolerates elevated nitrate/phosphate, and fragments readily once established.
