[E.intheC]

Anyone have a large LPS colony they'd like to share? Post some pics!

Not my tank, but one I have been taking care of for the past 7 years...

Pectina sp. not terribly colorful, but its size and mature shape make it beautiful, it is in a 240 to give you a size reference...

[Stylaster]

This guy is 14" across

 

[Stylaster]

wow...my favorite coral is definitely the spiny cup (pectinia). that pic just made my jaw hit the floor. just amazing

I can't help but wonder how big the Xenia mat next to the Pectina is.

[HunterBryan]

[staindsoul]

That frogspawn is impressive, maroon. Nice work.

 

[HunterBryan]

Here's another one...The Yellow Tang is about 5"...this is a 150 gallon. The Galaxea sp. coral has grown over the course of 8 years, from your typical fist sized piece...

Dang everything in this tank is huge!! That clam is like a basketball and those blue mushrooms are popping off everywhere..must be doing something right!

This is one of the most impressive tanks I've ever seen. Phenomenal patience and care for so long.

Nice pics. Cant wait till I have a nice large colony to post. My biggest piece is a 16 head hammer~

 

[HunterBryan]

Kegogut post a pic of hammer. I have one with bout 10 heads and a bunch of small heads around the base. Taken forever to grow. How long have you had it and what size was it when you started?

 

[staindsoul]

i was about to say 16 head hammer is no frag by any means...........lets see it.

 

[kegogut]

Here it is. Its about the size of two fists. Ive had this tank up for about 10 months so i guess Ive have this guy for 6-8 months, hes gone from 5 heads to 16 at last count.


This guy only has 6 heads or so but he expands a good 9 inches longer when flowing like he does. The foxface in the pic is about 4 inches

 

[HunterBryan]

Yea that's a good size hammer! Ive had mine for bout 7 months but all I see new is lil ting heads by popping up around the bases. Kegogut is that how yours started producing new heads?
