I have this monster Purple Stylo growing in my tank for years. It's roughly the size of a basketball.

Thought it would be fun to see other large corals from the R2R crowd. Let's see what you got.
 
Very nice! Biggest colony of coral I have is a large colony of frogspawn. Prob about the size of a soccer ball. And my monti cap is coming along nicely, prob about 10" across so far... Unless you consider pulsing xenia to be cool, that I have fields of! Hahaha!

Oldie but a goodie. Miami Hurricane. It's about 16" across. Actually thinking about chopping it up. It likes to overgrow everything in its path... The Vivid Grape is next in it's path
 
Hollywood stunner. Unfortunately, doing a tank transfer tomorrow and I'm sure this colony will not be whole in the end. It's encrusted the overflow as well as the back wall. It's a fast grower so I'll have tons of frags tomorrow as well as a nice little chunk for myself. :)

you guys make me so jealous. my 40 breeder has only been up a few months and filled with frags. i think its safe to say its going to be a while before i get anything that big. it would be cool if you guys also posted how big it was when you got it and how long you have been growing it.
 
There have to be more reefers out there with huge corals, let's see them.

Here is a pic of the same Stylo from years ago.
