Hello,
I've had this open brain for 2 weeks now, and it seem to fluff up quite nicely, but it seems to be getting TOO large for the avialable space...One side is pressing up against the glass about 3/4 inch, and on the opposite side it is up about 3/4 inch on top of some tonga coral.
Note please that this is a 6.5-7 inch span. I would say the brain is about 4-4.5 inches tall and 7.5-8 inches across when fully inflated. I do not have many other places in the tank that have a sand bed much larger than this.
My question is, do they get much larger than this? if so i am going to have to move some rockwork around(not an easy task seeing how i have 115 lbs all stacked)
Heres a pic for refence on the type of brain:

seems to be happy, just dont want it to be cramped.... in this pic he is about 1/4 inch on glass and 1/4 inch on tonga behind.
