20 years ago i had one that was one foot wide. The center piece of my tank.. Back then there was no SPS or chalices. It was clams, euphylia, cataphylia etc... or colt corals, (I had one 1 foot wide), leathers ( i had one 1 foot wide)., brown mushrooms, etc..
It was my favorite coral of all times.. I took my tank apart at that time, and sold it to a co worker that never paid me for $30. :headwally:
Those where the days.:hmm4:
That sucks. Sorry to hear about it.
