Pagoda cup coral-huge

[Azurel]

I have posted this in the past but just really got a couple good pics that show the size of it.....I got this back in 2003 on my honeymoon down in Florida. It was the size of a softball+ then.

FTS....So you can see it the way it is in the tank...

This is a large ice cream bowl( that's what I like to put in it any way) so you can see how big the Pagoda is compared to it. The coral itself is twice as deep as the bowl as well.....

LOL.....I actually don't feed it direct it gets what ever it get that floats bye......Yea ricordea are not my favorite coral at all....It has I would say tripled in size over the last 5 years now......I will get an updated pic for you guys I think one of the keys is getting the right current over the polyps I have it in med/high flow and direct MH lighting. This thing puts out polyps so long that it almost looks like a Gongi......
