Just found this thread.. here is mine


I grew all of these colonies from frags...

To get some dimensions, the tank is 6 feet long.


The microthalma is about a small soccer ball


The blue acro is about 12 inches in diameter... grew from 1/2 inch frag.

The green monti cap is about 20 inches


This mille is close to 17 inches in diameter...

All colonies grown from frags

I posted a pic of this mille in this thread already in this thread, but until I took some new pics last night I didn't realize how out of date that picture was. The white thing on top is a rubber tape measure.

Here is my purple rim cap - I am 6"2 1/2 and have pretty big hands :-)

AT this stage cap was about 14" across and 7" high



and in the tank with the other attached to the rock.



Enjoy

Thank you. I love the size, but it takes up a lot of space and shades other species of acro's that are trying to grow.

WOW, some very nice pieces everyone!

Mine are by no means the biggest but are around volleyball sized maybe a little bigger.

Here are 2 full tank pics of my tank. One with my wife and 2 of my nieces in it, and the 2nd is a recent pic with corals in it.

Compare the size of the corals and clams with my wife's head!





FWIW, Nathan

Thanks Cward. Your mille is huge and gorgeous.

The squamosa was same size as the maxima right next to it only 2 1/2 years ago.

My red mille (behind my 2nd picture to the right) was was raised from a 5" colony about the same time as my clam.

I thought it is one of the biggest captive SPS coral (25" in diameter) until I saw so many others in this thread.

Way to go everyone!
