Ginormous toadstool

[marinereef01]

So I have a RSM 250 and have had this toadstool since July 2012 and this thing has gotten huge... pretty much too big for the tank. Is this normal? Uploaded pics

That's one happy coral! Yes, the toadstools are known to become gianormus. There's one at a lfs that has to be at least 15 inches in diameter.

I have 2 green leathers in my tank.

When they get that big it will be time for a bigger tank lol.

Ive seen this in person and this toadstool is something the Cheshire Cat should be sitting on if Alice in Wonderland was in the ocean. Its bigger than a 55g drum in diameter.

That's what........... about 4-5 years to get that size???
Any special feeding or that's just regular water changes and the daily fish poo and detritus?

It is about 13 years old now in captivity.

No special feeding, just 250-400w MH and fish poop, overfeeding, and time.
