Show me your bubble corals,

[Sailfinguy21]

I want to see your guys bubble corals. Bubbles are my favorite corals. I bought one when i first started off and i killed it almost but its been recovering slowely over like a year, its gotten bigger and bigger but man it takes along time.

I have two purplish/blue grape bubble corals, and a pink pearl bubble coral. And a few weeks ago i bought the elusive green bubble coral, but i got a deal of a life time on it, was $200 and in the store it was the size of a softball, i got it for $160 because i had a 20% discount i was saving for the "right coral". In my tank the thing has ballooned to near basket ball sized almost. The pictures dont do it justice, i had to move my rock formation 3 times because it kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger, it loves my tank and lighing vs the stores. I have to move the intake of my emperor 400 up because its like 1 inch away from the filter inlet lol. Its easily 8 inches long, one of those $400-500+ green bubbles.

Here are pics of my bubbles.

Really nice bubble you have there. I used to have them years ago, but for some reason or another I haven't since. Maybe I'll pick one up at my local clubs frag show in 3 weeks.

Yea its just huge, i wasnt expecting it to be this size, i need to move that rock over to left some more again. I put that rock there to block flow, without the rock there is too much flow for the bubbles and they stay small and wiggle too much

I just saw a big one earlier today at a LFS. The thing was massive. I kept thinking, where would I even put that?

I have always liked them but could never keep them due to the high flow in my tank. Yours looks good!

I just upgraded to 180 gals and am excited to finally have the space for one

I haven't seen the green ones around in awhile. Didn't realize they got that expensive.

Very very nice! Mine pales in comparison, but here it is... only 3 years old... merely a baby compared to yours!

I have had this bubble coral for close to 15 years now. It is about the size of a mellon.

Grew like crazy! I had to make a trade for it bc it was just too big. I hate losing a perfectly healthy specimen for new corals. Oh, well. What’s done is done.
