Other than magnifica anemones (which are not corals LOL), green slimmer got to be about half the length of my last tank, so around 42". Colony got cut back significantly so now only about two feet.

[hopefully brief thread drift]

So you're saying this magnifica got to be bigger than 42"? How big was your magnifica? (and i guess how much square footage would you recommend folks if they are going to get a magnifica?)

I guess the biggest coral would be the indo pink tip Frogspawn. It’s the colony that is at the upper left corner. The first two photos show a 15 month growth period. The last two pictures are of the small group of polyps just to the left of that big colony. This shows how fast they grow from baby polyps. This is also 15 month growth period.
