Dude, gorgeous corals!!!! That's a word I never use too.
 
This ORA Hawkins started as a tiny frag and grew for about 7 years, I think. It was at the top of my water column, directly under a 250w Radium, in high, oscillating flow so it had grown as a dense table instead of the usual branching formation. It got to about 15” across when I sold it and is about 13" across in all directions and about 4" high in the photos below.

Yes and personally I know several people with bigh end big name colonies but they could case less to share pictures online of them
That is surprising. Most other hobbies are not like that. I'll let you guys know in 10 years when I get there.... ;)
