We still need to see pic's of yours, even if it isn't the biggest. Here's mine, and I know it's not the largest coral out there.

12" top to bottom, 12" front to back, and 16" side to side. That's a 33long it's in and it can touch the top, bottom, front, and back all at the same time.

To be honest, I no longer have the coral. A few months ago there was a catastrophe in my fish room that almost caused a divorce and for me to get out of the hobby. I don't think I will ever fully get over it. I lost this and several other beautiful Elegance corals and two LTA's.

Here's a tip. Make sure your wife knows not to clean your fish room.
