What is the Largest Living Thing in Your Tank

[Gumbies R Us]

Sometimes coral or fish can grow to be very large at times. I am wondering what is the largest living thing that is currently in your tank. Maybe it is a large fish or a large anemone, or maybe a large coral. Curious to hear what everyone says!!!

The largest living thing in my tank is probably my Barney Acro followed by my very large One Spot Foxface

Though my magnificent fox is also quite big this fat monster is definitely my biggest.

What kind of eel is that?

While my bamboo shark “Sarah” is the largest, that kinda doesn’t count, my second largest is a gulf pigfish that I caught last year at about 3 inches, is now almost 8 inches…

I had to replace my 30”+ Mag anemone with a 6” one, that is now up to about 15” and I don’t feed it!
But my red plating sponge is probably 30” by 20”, and constantly growing!

I do have a 30”+ zebra moray, but most visitors don’t believe me, cause he’s never out!

I’d have to say either the foxface or pink tail trigger .

next would be bta .

but if we include rocks as living creatures , my largest is around 25lbs

Personally. I’ve always considered rocks to be living creatures. Started when I was 5 and told my mom that the rock went thru the window by itself!
I’m sticking with that story!

My emperor angel is around 6” maybe a little more but the finger leather behind it is the size of a dinner plate.

Any pictures of the pigfish ?

 

[Bucs20fan]

This is the only picture I have of him currently, this was about 4 inches, easily double that size now.
I’ll snap a new picture of him today when I get home from work.

When you say pig fish you also mean pork fish ? These guys can grow pretty big .

Nope, different fish entirely.

Orthopristis chrysoptera
