Ive never seen such nice sized polyps!

Sorry to hear about your loss! Looking forward to your orlando trip!

Those are definately large compared to any of the other utter chaos polyps I have seen. Looking nice. I agree with others. Let it grow and get huge.

I'll be waiting to see some of those "jumbo" utter chaos to go up on the LBA site.

Do you supplement with T5 or leds ? I see they are stretching as if they needed more light

I hope the OP doesn't mind me sharing my photo, but my Utter Chaos polyps are also large.

goody, those are amazing with a nice, deep black. How much light are they getting?

Looks like both you and the original poster are doing somegthing right. Are you two using some sort of fertilizer?

I don't have a PAR meter, but they are about 26" below my two 120w LED from China and two t5s. I was at 3-4p for a long time, even with the lighting, and within the past month, I now have 12p. Only thing I changed was put them on a frag station instead of sandbed.

I never considered them small... on the other hand I always thought they could get to be almost like a PE size wise.... I know see they do!:tongue: anyways I got mine 2 weeks ago so i'll see how they do... that being said I also think that the size of the polyp will always vary a bit according to light exposure also

Thats what I thought. Mine start looking like that under lower light. I still cant get the deep blacks like yours, however.
