It's Friday! Lets have some fun. Be great if everybody can post there largest grown in SPS! I'm sure at this point there has to be some massive sunset monti colonies!
 
sweet and old link.. way to get in the spirit of a friday. Boooo! Lets see some recent stuff. That thread is 2 years old!
 
Oh my, those colonies are huge... how do they grow so big in captivity?
Largest size I've seen locally is barely 8" to a foot, but these are well over 2 feet!
 
My largest sps, a monti 12" wide, 14" long. Started as a frag about the size of a half dollar:

One with my fingers so you can judge the size:

Here is Bullwinkle, I accidentally broke him off his base & ended pulling it out & cutting it down to size. This is 4 years growth from a 3" small colony. Second pic is same coral after a good trimming.

what size tank was that guy in?!!
SWEET

Bullwinkle is in a 175 bow front he grew to over 2' wide & 2'tall. He came from Rick souta as a little guy back in mid 2007. Rick said it was a blue slimmer, it is blue & it does slime. He must have been right.
 
It's 9 inches across. It was 10 but then a battle with AEFW I fragged it down to one inch. It took a year and a half but it's back!!:bounce3::bounce2:

I fragged just the tips of my favotite acros dipped them and threw everything else out. It was one of the worse days in 35 years in this hobby. It was also the third time I had gone through dipping the colonies three times a week for weeks. They would be gone for awhile then boom, back they came so I got ****ed and just tossed everything. :uzi:

That's brutal I'm in the same boat. Don't know how many more times I can keep having these things before I just cave and do something similar.
