What's the biggest coral ever seen
 

A one piece , I mean if squids and octopus get that big must be a huge monster somewhere:twised:

Do you mean in the ocean, or in someone's tank ?
And squids, octupii aren't corals dude ....
So do you mean corals ?

if you mean coral,dead or living ,...if dead here is a couple of many

I'm pretty sure it was a brain coral I saw on A nature channel once that was the size of a house. It made the diver beside it look like a damsel.

In the sense that the species still live and eat. Most amazing thing is that they are like a mammal.

Then why did you ask about corals ? Corals are not mammals dude !!!

Your thread title is ... What's the biggest coral ever seen

Getting tired of your crap posts bud :twised:

I said like, not are a mammal. Hence they eat, defend. **** even look like they breathe some of em .

You are comparing a octopus to a plant... Not the same thing..

Mammals, apparently -lol

Corals aren't plants either.. Wow, must've been some night for everyone :lol:

Let's try this again when everyone isn't hung over.

Is an octopus a plant or a mammal?

That question deserves a poll on its own

I just can't. But I do use Instant Ocean!!

Yes... But only between 5 and 9.

My favourite is the birthing photosynthetic octopus..

Mineral.

And Instant Ocean for the win.

Since the thread is kinda off topic...

and people still smoke at gas stations.

The biggest corals I have grown are a 12" acropora and an 18" x 14" sunset chalice from a piece 2" x 4".

The ocean is a different story. House sized corals can be common. I've seen table acros 10' across.

Smacks head you don't say. We're talking about size of corals in ocean the biggest ever found, you know . Lol

Coral
 

I have a 12"x14" green sinularia in my softie tank. Not the biggest but damn huge.

I'm so confused!

Dazed and confused?

58.5 ft. Of course like the OP I didn't use google either.

Too many people got confused so deleting the thread lol shame Fiji had nice pics

I finally understand the question . But still waiting for some pics .

One of the biggest Acros I have ever seen in person, from one of our trips to Indo.
There once was a photo from above with me in reference for size to this acro, but no sure where that one has gone;

That's amazing, if they eat fish would they ever swallow a diver?.

Corals don't eat a lot of fish :)

great laughs in this thread!

Lucky you weren't eaten!!

Didn't we establish that corals were vegetarian ?

Only green corals
