I have a pretty large colony of torch (I’m guessing at least 30 heads, maybe more?)

I have a duncan colony that’s roughly the same size.

My fighting conch who we've nicknamed Godzilla. Huge conch that knocks any sand based frags over, will bulldoze other snails, and is oftentimes taking the sexy shrimp as a passenger between nems.

I have got to see a picture of that. That conch sounds massive.

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!

Sounds legit!

I have a few big Live rocks, but my largest living thing is my foxface rabbit fish followed by my hippo.

Mexican Turbo Snail! It was on the medium side when I added it a year ago and today it looks like a piece of live rock lol

He’s 4” long shell tip to shell tip. When I got it, it was half of that. Really exploded over the past year and a half! Ignore dirty glass I need to scrape.

My ray is the biggest thing, around 9 inches in diameter

I got one a few weeks ago that's about 2ish inches...due to his grace & poise, we have named him Bubba! He's almost as pushy as your Godzilla ...so fun to watch

Black Tang for sure. Started at around 2-3" and was a nice dinner plate size when I took the tank down in just a few years!!!

When I got the Gem Tang, both of their growth rates exploded!

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!!!

Largest coral is a leather (bought from my LFS, and it's almost the size of a dinner plate when fully open - have had a really hard time figuring out what type it is - maybe someone here can help me identify it? Closest thing I've seen is Devil's Hand, but it has more "paddle" like shapes to me than the pics I see of Devil's Hand...) Largest fish is probably either my melanurus wrasse, Rio - or my diamond goby, Bob the Builder. They're both chunkers (well to be fair, all my fish definitely look very well-fed). The sand all over the leather in the pic is the goby's doing (it's also being dramatic and not really extending polyps at the time). The largest thing in my tank about a year ago was a purple long tentacle anemone. It was gorgeous... mysteriously died after a few months though.

*Please excuse the hair algae infestation - been battling a massive outbreak and due to personal stuff going on for a while, haven't done the maintenance I need to. Tried some FluxRx as a bandaid, and now I've got cyano on top of the GHA, ugh. Oh yeah and this tank is by 2 windows so... yeah... bad placement choice and one reason I have a hair algae back glass instead of the pretty GSP wall that some have, lol.
