I only have a few frags so nothing to post here yet but my frags are gorgs. I love them. What is this one? It's beautiful! It looks a little like my corky finger. I just got an ecogorg. I love that one as well.1. With your tape measure in the foreground and your prize coral colony in the back……….
2. Show reef2reefers what you got!

Cleaned up a few posts that took this thread off track. This has potential to be a great thread! Let's see some more colonies!

This is not a Corky finger. Although those are great soft corals. This I believe is from the Eunicea species. They’re very common and slow but consistent growers.

I’m going to bump this thread however I unfortunately don’t have any HUGE colonies that are 14 inch plus, my largest is a ricordea rock at a good 1 foot with each polyp being I think 3-4 inch across.
I also have a 20+ head Duncan but he’s only about 4 inches.
I can’t find a measuring tape but will add a photo of both colonies with a measuring tape infront when I find one.
Also, I have a piece of information I’d love to know as I have an acropora frag that I now have as my target to grow into a large 4-6 inch colony (If not bigger to frag). That piece of information is:
How long have you had the colony and what size did you get it as (I.E. did you start it as a minuscule frag that most SPS will start as or was it already rather large).
I also have a 20+ head Duncan but he’s only about 4 inches.

Good question and I had to surf back through my photos to reference an early picture and date. Dec 2018 it looks like. I actually had to snapshot this off of a video.

A bunch of you are going crazy over the colony I posted above so here's a couple full tank shots. If you live near Vermont PM me and I'll give you some for free. No shipping, sorry.
There's no secret to these, just keep your water chemistry stable for 3-4 years and your tank will look like this too. I do not consider myself a particularly skilled reefer, just patient.

Very nice!!! I’d say you’re a “skilled reefer” as well! If you don’t mind, let’s see your sump area as well. ThxA bunch of you are going crazy over the colony I posted above so here's a couple full tank shots. If you live near Vermont PM me and I'll give you some for free. No shipping, sorry.
