Let's see your biggest coral!!!

Whoever wins gets 5k casino cash! LOL!
 
if nismo posts his cap...I think he'll win. LOL that things like 2.5' x 1.5' x 1'.

Here's mine... untill it broke off while cleaning the glass and the only way I could get it glued back down was to frag it up.

Wow very nice both of you!! Can you estimate the sizes?
 
that pink birdsnest was about the size of a soccer ball in that pic. it got a little bit bigger, then completely bleached from the base up over the course of 3-4 days out of the blue. as a way of "spreading the ashes", it is now broken up inside the calcium reactor feeding the tank. recycling at its best.

btw - it started as a single brach ora frag.

cheers!

mine's about 7" tall but then it got chopped up and is now about 3". I can't wait for it to get bigger again as everyone that came over LOVED that coral. more than my setosa, oregon, ponape, etc etc. LOL just a nice purple/blue tipped stag.

Benny, that thing is HUGE! I can't wait to get a bigger tank so I can let things grow to be that big! I constantly have to prune back so they don't kill eachother!

This welso has been captive for 5+ years. Compare it in size to the regular sized ones next to it as well as the clowns and zoas...

That Birdsnest is awesome benny z! How old is it?
 
'twas approximately 1.5 years old...

for size reference, that display is 4' tall. no not getting wet reaching the bottom of that tank!
 
I am not submitting for the casino cash... I no longer have the tank - I just wanted to share the Bubble I used to have.
