[Neokane]

Mine is pretty big (I think) but not sure how much bigger he (it?) will get.

I think I've seen them get about 18 inches across.

what species?

 

[Ron Popeil]

my crispa is easily 24" at times.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

my mag was 36"

mini tapetum max out at 3" and maxi mini at 5-6"

all depends on species.......

My ritteri is at least 18" and is still young.

Ron's crispa is huge every time I've seen it. It stretched from side to side in a 24" cube tank.

Largest nem I've ever seen though was at a place called Aqua Serine in Eugene OR. They had a brown haddoni that was traded in from a local hobbiest that absolutely filled a 2x2x2 cube. No telling how how large it actually was cause the folds were crammed up against the sides of the compartment.

I remember another member on here, I think his name was Davocean, or something like that. Search and find him. He had a picture of one he had that was quite large in his 180. I thought that one was a couple feet in diameter. A real beauty.

Old shot of a crispa I had. It was roughly 18 to 20 inches at its largest. It's 4 foot long tank for reference.

Nice anemone! Question for you. How was that blue face angel with the anemone? Did you see it having crispa snacks? Or did it behave pretty well?

 

[Winwood]

Never touched the nem. The female chrysopterus was incredibly protective. I actually got rid of that fish shortly after because the clown seemed to get increasingly agressive.

Mine never wants to be picture friendly.

Here is one. It normally goes from the center of that rock on the left to just touching the right on the right.

6 foot tank.
