Show me your huge colonies!

[joshky]

This is my 80+ head duncan, I've had this guy for over a year now through a couple of tank transfers. I just recently upgraded tanks and I'm really loving the way it's looking under T5s versus only seeing it under LEDs in the past.

I'd love to see some other colonies you all have grown out. :)

WOW what a gorgeous and huge Duncan. Exactly how big is it? My 23 head colony got brown jelly disease. I've only got a two head frag left from it. :( That is a picture of it for my avatar with my Cherub Angel.

Thanks. I would say 7"x5" or so, it's all really compact and a smaller polyp variety duncan. Some of those large polyp branching duncans would dwarf my colony in no time. ;)


Nice pieces Budman422, you have some really excellent examples of well established colonies.

[Dkuhlmann]

My big one that got brown jelly was one of the big ones with heads around 2". I've got a two head frag now that is about to pop some new heads out that is the really large ones with short tentacles and bright green centers. The largest polyp is over 2 1/2" and some days pushing close to 3" Going to look weird once the other heads pop out.
