http://ReefBuilders.com is the source for all your reef aquarium news. This is the largest aquarium hammer coral in the world. It grows in it's own 120cm x 90cm x 90cm tank at Neptune's Tropical Fish in Denver Colorado. The coral is over 17 years old and this video was taken about 2 years after it was cut in half. The coral has produced numerous full colonies over the years.

  • then mine is too small /watch?v=xaW_JC5AVm4 :(

  • This should be in a nice display tank. NOT IN THST SHITTY OLD CABINET.

  • I've seen this in an aquarium in chicago

  • Probably got ripped out from the ocean

  • dang only if it was a pretty color

  • Now you wanna be creful when purchasing this as it posseses 500 inch sweeper tentacles in everydirection, eats all fish within four miles, requires sunlight, needs to be injected with steroids daily, and has been known to occasionally climb out of tanks and devour it's sleeping owner. Feed four children to it every week. It only eats the souls but it is to hard to pry those out.... Uh huh. okay.. ya. I see. OH I dont know. I can give it to you for around 60 bucks with two starter children...

  • I live 1 block from the store where the coral is and yes they still have it. They have to trim it up every couple of months. The woman tells me they cut off about 45lbs every time they do that. Not sure if they sell frags though. Anyone want to see another video?

  • Eh, I recant that. Can't really judge size too well from the video and it is definitely massive.

  • Eh, I call bull. I've seen tanks on reef central with 3x3 colonies

  • you could fund a entire tank with that hammer
