Nice, eddie c! You know they are big when it's breaking the water surface.

Here's a pic from my old 260. The sarchophyte pictured was about 24" across before the tank was torn down.

tom obrecht, how old was that leather? mine is about 10" across, it was started from a frag about 1.5 years ago the mother colony was huge.

the coral that you are referring to known as steve is in a pet store in New Jersey called Pet Shanty the thing is friggin huge the last time i saw it, it was about 5ft. wide and growing out the top of his tank. he wants to move it to a bigger tank but does not know how to get it out without cutting it in half because the tank has 2 center braces

sir_dudeguy · #12 04/01/2007, 01:26 PM

cut the center brace??? lol i dont know, but to me, i'd value that coral way more than the tank. And the center brace can be repaired, and you dont wanna cut up such a nice coral like that.
