Biggest in my tank is an elegance that is getting close to basketball size right now. Will probably need to find a new home for it soon as I've had to make a wall of rocks around it to prevent it from stinging all of my trachys and lobos.

It has also eaten 40-50 snails in the last six months. Its just a graveyard of shells all around the base of it. They either fall in and get swallowed up or the tentacles grab them off the overflow box.
Pics?

If I’m remembering correctly, my gorgonian that I bought a couple years ago. It was maybe six inches when I got it, now it is maybe ten inches long.

frogspawn got huge over the years. It broke my main dome of it when I moved to this tank but the dome on the right is still pretty big, about the size of a dinner plate. Crazy that all this frogspawn came from a little 2-3 head frag I bought years ago (and sold off many frags too!)

My old Soli that went with most of the tank due to unknown crash back in 2004. Grown from a frag to 15" by 11" had bigger Stag colonies but had to break them down. Still have the skeleton, couldn't toss it in the reactor!! I still love the old school acros.

I've had a brain coral for about 8 years. After some time, I had to move it to its own 10 gal tank because it was stinging the crap out of everything around it. Eventually, it started to grow up against its 10 gal skull, so I had to moved it; that is, I had to do a Brain Coral Transplant into a 60 cube! :p That was a bit too much room to think, so now it's in a 24 gal cube.

Red Dragon that tried to take over my old 93gal cube it was larger than a basketball.

Wow! Your red dragon looks very healthy. I use to have a 24" inch pink bird nest coral that looks like that from afar. Do you have a chunk of this red dragon for sale? I live in San Francisco.
