Who sells XXXXXL corals???
I am in the process of a 550 gal tank. there are some corals I would like to have in a very big size. Most places call a 7" coral XL but it would get lost in the tank. I am looking mostly for LPS I dont want to cut them up nor do I have 75yrs to get it that size.

If you arent looking for anything special in color, and just looking for nice space fillers I bet if you call and ask live aquaria or marine depot if they could hook you up, they may be able to.
Either that or post in the WTB section here. A lot of people get to a point in which their stocking desires gets more picky and are willing to let some larger specimens go for cheap just to get them out of the way. I know I have. Catch to that is finding someone who knows how to package a large coral and get it to you in one piece. ps---it would only take 3 years to fill your tank if you started with frags and smaller corals.....not 75

Put a post in the WTB forum. Lots of guys have monster size corals too big for their tank.

If you want big corals start a business and find a good wholesaler.
