Supersize Yuma

[this is me]

Does anyone know how big can a yuma get? This is the largest I've seen. Over 5" closer to 6". The clown in the pics is 2.5".

I've seen one at the lfs that is easily 5-6".

Wow that is by far the biggest yuma I have ever seen, very nice specimen you have there.

Yuma's don't split? They just get bigger and bigger?

They do split. I used to have the orange/blue yuma that stays very small(3" at the most) and they split out babies yuma all the time.
This one doesn't seem to produce baby at all. It just gets bigger and bigger. Probably 3 years in my tank now.

Wow that's massive. 6" really? Would love to see a top down shot

I have some orange ones that MAY make it to 4", but nowhere near 6. That's a monster

It's hard to get a top down shot now that I have the hammer colony on top of it.
Here's an angle shot of it.

And here's an old top down shot when it was smaller.

wow, nice! still miss your S. Gig's

I do miss the gigs and my clowns miss them more. This Yuma acts as a carpet anemone for them sometime. At night they go sleep on the acanthophyllia when the Yuma shrink and ball up.
I'll be back with the gigs when I have a bigger tank. Right now, I just want to be able to keep all the different SPS and LPS.

Here is my old orange yuma. That is a 4" tang in front of it I traded that yuma for a zoa frag pack.

Wow it might be my new fav shroom. Perfect for the new top-down poly tub I'm putting things in.

 

[Caronte]

Good to know that. And what happens when you place many yumas close together? Lets saiy a couple inches appart, Did they start growing over each other or stop growing?
