bubble corals

[Nelly6669]

Can anybody post their pics of their bubble corals. I want to see how big they are and any info on them is helpful. I believe this is going to be my next coral purchase. Just wanted to see some and know if it is a wise reef addition.

They grow quickly. This one grew from a small frag to its current size of 10"

About a year.

Here is a pic of it 9 months ago:

Beautiful do you feed it ? i just saw your picture and run to the LFS and got my a small green one man they are expensive almost two times is much as the cream color ones.

Bubble corals grow quickly with-out direct feeding. As they get bigger they trap plenty of food from feeding your fish if you feed them when the coral is expanded with sweepers showing as seen in the pics.

Good luck with yours!

Here are some pics of my bc. It was approx. 3.5" when I first got it.

Today it is about 7" and it has taken 4 months to double in size. In the 4 months that I've had it, I have only target feed twice.

I know they inflate with water and look bigger when they get acclimated, is the skeleton gets any bigger ?

 

[Aquabucket]

The skeleton on mine has hardly grown at all from what I can tell.

I can never see the skeleton of mine, but if I had to guess based on what I can see, I would say slightly.

My bubble coral has doubled its size in less than a month!
