Not sure if I would call this huge or not, but my one tabling milli is at least 9*9. Pretty much all of that growth happen in about 9 months.
Here is a shot with the light hood off, and with a flash, the colors are a bit off. ![]() A better (( but doesn't show the size as well )) shot -- the colors are more accurate.

These pictures are from 3/2/08
This shot is from a slightly different angle, but gives you an idea of its size. It is about 1/4 of the way from the left. ![]() A close up.

What I love about this hobby is that there are literally hundreds of ways to reef correctly and get great results.

I would say it is about 12" across right now. This photo is a few months old and under 10K lighting so the colors arent that great. It does a lot better under 20K
![]() Here is one I kinda like from the bottom up. Also a little old. This coral grows like crazy. At least 1/2" per month.
