Are you referring to open or maze brains? Open brains can grow fairly large but I've never seen one grow as large as some maze brains. I've seen some snorkeling that were 5 feet in diameter. Amazing. But then again, every coral in the ocean is bigger. But in any regard, you can find both that are sized for aquarium keeping.
