I have had this coral for about a year now and it has gotten huge. It covers pretty much all of my sand bed in the center. So, I thought I would share it since it seems you don't see many big lps corals very often.
 
Wow! That's huge! I've got a couple but they aren't anywhere near this big. What sort of lighting do you have it under? PAR? Do you target feed it? Does it catch food from the current during feedings often?

I have a 5 bulb ati t-5 fixture. Idk what par I have, never measured it lol. I target feed it a couple times a week and it does catch food from the current as well. I have the fixture about 10-12 inches above the water. It is a 65 gallon tank so it's deep.

Awesome. Thanks for the info... I'm on T5 too but I'm not really target feeding any of my coral, maybe I should start!
