My first thought was someone will buy it and frag it down completely, but then again the average frag is like 10 polyps. That's 200 frags! It would make a wonderful mother colony to take the occasional frag from, but it's definitely best left in one piece. I wish I had a monster display tank. It'd love to have that beauty.

I agree, I am all about aquaculture . But I also appreciate show corals. If the owner was smart about it they could almost continuosly take a few polyps off that coral a month and it would still probably get bigger. If it was mine there is no way I would frag it up.

That is the best one I have ever seen.......I to wouldn't frag that beaut, not to many to be seen in a whole colony like that. I fear it won't stay like that long though...

I think it stands a chance of not being fragged too much just because the color itself is common. If it were a rainbow type it definitely would be fragged to pieces. I don't think there would be a huge desire from that particular color to warrant the need to frag it up too much. Amazing piece indeed though. :)

that is nice as a whole colony!
I'm hoping mine grows at least to be 6" wide let alone what that monster is!

You don't have ROOM!!! But, if you buy it, you can keep all the stuff you have to move over at my house, I have a little room in my SPS box.

That's what I love about reef boards...friends that are always willing to help.
