That clam isn't too small either. Beautiful!

seen a few that size. Not to often though. I like the froggies that big though.

 

[Conceyted]

thats a hammer... regardless looks great!

 

[ReefDoctorMicromussas]

Wow... nice... you must have a very large tank?

 

[carpus]

how many individual heads are on that thing! I counted to 20 and then gave up. NICE score

 

[SPSFiend]

Thanks guys! Last time I counted there were 85-90 heads. My goals is to see how big I can grow it

Nice branching Hammer coral. My wall hammer looks a lot different.

i have had one for 3 years and it was big when i got it. I hope it gets that large and fills in more. That is beautiful.

Gorgeous boquet! Whoever shipped that did an exceptional job for that size. Looked great for coming out of a shipping bag, nice healthy meaty encrusted tips.Thanks for sharing

I aquired this piece through a fellow reefer in San Diego. He had a 180 gal reef that he had running for 3 years. He was re-modling his house and as a trade off for some landscape design work one of my family members was doing for him, I scored his tank and all its contents!! Only thing was that I live in LA and I had to pick up the tank within 2 weeks.

The move was really succesful. I did not lose one coral. This has been my second time moving a completely stocked tank. It adds a whole other level of stress on top of just moving the tank itself...

The tank actually ended up having a leaking overflow so, it was a nightmare... Anyhow, I packed the coral myself along with the remainder of the contents of the tank and drove back to LA

He mentioned I could frag some heads and make a few bucks. Iwas like are you NUTS! A colony of this size is a rare thing in captivity. My goal is to see how big I can grow it! Same goes for the clams although they are taking up PRIME realistate in my tank.

I'll post some additional pics when I get a chance. This thing is actually swelling up much much larger now that it is established!

Happy Reefing!

oh wow.....that is an amazing piece....I'm glad you are keeping it intact....grow it big man ,grow it big.

I had one that grew from about five heads to that size in four years. It took up most of the left side of my 90. I traded it to the LFS who sold it to a guy with a 300. Very nice score!

 

[crab0000]

Here's a not so good pic. It was retracted some because I started adding flow for the SPS in the tank and it didn't like it too much.

Frag that BadBoy, you're sitting on a Gold Mine :beer:

 

[reefinmike]
