What's the largest chromis you have had or seen in an aquarium?

So chromis tend to be believed to be on the 'smaller' side of marine fish that we keep, even at full size. But I am curious, just how big have you seen one to be? :3 Sometimes fish in the aquaria gets larger than in the wild.

I have three - I'd guesstimate they are about 2" +/-. They are much bigger than I expected them to get. I had deliberately gotten the smallest ones at the LFS back in the day. They were between dime and nickel sized. Boy have they grown.

I've heard of some wild caught ones that were quite large, about six inches give or take.

Around 4in is pretty typical for a full grown adult in aquariums. I had 2 that were 7 years old. Started with 7.
