Out of control green trumpet coral

[lyscer]

My trumpet is starting to grow into a couple of other corals so I decided that I wanted to trim it a bit.... When I went to move it I realized how big is has gotten. I bought it 5 years ago with 3 heads - and it has seen some very rough patches and has been trimmed down over the years. Thought I would share.

You can see it in the back middle when I first got it:

This pic is from yesterday.

[Johniejumbo]

I would too!

 

[dantimdad]

[Mayerlyn A]

It's beautiful and huge

 

[Urtoo]

Beauty, and HUGE. If once breaks off, let me know

Very nice. Is that the same hammer in both pics?

 

[Quietman]

Impressive specimen...didn't know they could get like that.

 

[lyscer]

Very nice. Is that the same hammer in both pics?

Yes it is the same one.

 

[jgvergo]

That is a nice problem to have

 

[rsepiphyte1]

Wow! I have never seen one grow quite that large! You must have the "saltwater coral green thumb"!

 

[foxt]

Yes it is the same one.

Cool to see the relative growth rates ...

 

[MnFish1]

Same here - thats a fantastic specimen. Im posting a poll...

 

[KStatefan]

That looks very nice.

Very nice piece. I also have a kryptonite candy cane. I've fragged off 40+ heads this year alone. Fastest growing LPS by far. Nice pics

 

[chris k.]

They are great looking when full like that. I just had to frag mine also.

do you have a recent full tank shot?

J.

 

[lyscer]

Here is a full tank shot. Sorry for the crappy quality, I can't seem to get very good full shots because of the windows in the room with the tank..

Here's a side shot of the hammer to get an idea of its real size. The tank is 19.5" front to back. The hammer is 9" long.

 

[jurgenph]

nice!

Interesting symmetry you have there.
