I'm a soft coral fanatic and really enjoy the sway of tentacles and the various colors, so I thought I would see who has some large soft corals. I have a 75g and have some large softies and would love to see how big these guys can get in larger tanks. So if you got some pic's post them so we can see who has the biggest! LOL
My tank of softies...

You need to look at Gary's tank. He has some huge corals (but I don't know what kind).

GaryP has a toadstool leather that takes up most of a 75 gallon tank. It is HUGE!
Maybe he'll post a pic here. I don't know of anyone else that has one close to its size.

I'll post a pic of my Toadstool when I get home. It's about 22-24" across. Check my gallery if you can't wait.
I think the other big coral that ThunderKat is referring to isn't a softie, its a galaxea (tooth coral). Its about the size of a loaf of bread.

I've got a rasta leather that is over 10in wide and 10in tall...I love it. Im a softie fan...I like to see them flow in the current. :wub

Bill,
I'm going to have to do something with that guy pretty soon. Its getting to be a "coral that ate my aquarium" scenario. I'm thinking about making a few hundred frags out of it.

So, then it appears to be unanimous, GaryP has the biggest softie.
Just remember, It's not the size that matters. :lol

All jokes aside, Gary does have awesome corals.
Even if it does take over a tank that is bragging rights. Sea World doesn't deserve that coral. Why cut it up? See how big it can get!

LOL...No, it's not just you :lol
Truthfully, I think it would be a shame for Gary to frag "The Monster" OR give it to Sea World. That is a true show piece, and gets a "WOW" response every time someone sees it...JMO ;)
The Galaxia, on the other hand... :roll

My wife keeps threatening to take a hammer and chisel to the galaxia.
Calfo recommends using a band saw. I told her as soon as she buys me one I'll frag it. :)
