    I got a frag from a friendly guy I found on Wisonsin Reef Society.

    It was a frag from a huge coral he had in a 29cube- he called it devils cloaw. This thing was about the size of a hemi-basketball!

    The piece I obtained ws very small, but has already quadrupled in size, now about the base size of a quarter.

    This coral looks really good IMHO, and his large one looke awesome.
    Anyone else care to rell me aobut theirs?
    I attached pics.

    Devil's hand! Ya those are cool, mine started as a frag the size of a golfball now it's closer to the size of a softball! When it spreads out it's "fingers" it looks like it's giving me the finger! They get huge!

    Thanks, I just fragged mine or I guess I should say it fragged itself, I just took the "knuckles" that broke off and put them on a plug. Here is a small frag from my 29 gal under LED lights, it's doing great!

    We have 2, both started out very small. Got them about a year ago.

    This one shrank up very small and fell in a hole in the rock, so it's a little behind in growth. Started out about the size of a small marble.

    This one started out about 2x1" but went nuts and is even bigger now and in the past couple weeks has started more of a cup shape and is about the size of my hand.

    You can see the large one on the top toward the right. The small one is mid toward the left.
