A friend of mines massive bubble coral.

[atoll]

A long time friend of mine Dave Fish (yes that's his sir name) bought a small bubble coral 24 years ago and recently decided to move it on as it was taking up so much of his tank but not before taking a good size cutting of it.
I hope whoever gets it keeps it together and dosent frag it. I also hope the new keeper looks after it as well as Dave did.
I have seen this coral grow over the years into a magnificent specimen. It deserves a large tank to do it justice. Well done Dave you did the coral proud.

A quarter of a century-old Bubble coral has just turned up at an LFS in the UK. Traded in to make room in his display tank, the previous owner admitted to taking it into his garage and having to break…

Wow, that is beautiful and truly amazing! This whole piece should go in your tank @Hedgedrew

BTW and the photo is without the bubble being fully out in the LFSs tank yet.

I know your friend fragged it because it had gotten so large but that must've been so hard for him to do. I would be so concerned if it didn't go to an experienced reefer with a massive tank. I would even been concerned if that piece was fragged into smaller pieces and each piece didn't go to an experienced reefer. It's so beautiful!!

I haven't heard anyone mention David Fish in over a decade! maybe a little less than that. I have no idea if he's on the forums these days, but he is quite the master of the aquarium.

What a beauty.

We are. I used to be on a lot of forums and whatnot that were not USA based.

Or at least, the Fish I'm thinking of was on the UK. Its been years since I've heard the name mentioned however.
