My 92 Gallon FormosaForest, staghorn colonys 27" diameter.





And another wildcaught Staghorn that I bought lately, and that has been fragged too much. I will let it grow out.

Here's mine a year ago at 24" across. I started this colony from a 4" frag 3 years ago. It got even larger and started to shade everything around it. The final straw was when I lost a 12" green table from too much shading 6 months ago. I posted the whole piece to pick up locally for $225 and none of the cheapos around here would take it. It broke my heart but I had to chop it up...wore out 3 black dremel cutting blades on those 1" trunks....gave huge frags to friends....sold the smaller frags to a LFS for a few hundred bucks in store credit. Now the mother colony is down to 12". Ahhh...the life of a captive coral...LOL.

very very nice!
BTW any of those biggies I'll buy if it comes to that versus fragging them.
