| *GENERAL
SIZING INFORMATION (unless noted in drop down box above): extra-small
up to 3/4", small 3/4" to 1-1/2", Medium 1-1/2" to 2-1/2".
Dimensions do NOT include the rock itself, just the live coral. Dimension is the greatest
of either the height or width when the coral is EXPANDED. Many corals (such as zooanthids)
dont grow tall, but rather, spread out over the rock. So the greatest dimension would
be how far it is spread on the rock, not the height of the ppolyps.
. -Images
shown above are the exact genetic type of coral, but dont necessarily match the size
and shape of the coral that you will receive. Your lighting may affect how the coloration
appears.

-The tape
measure reading in the photo above will give you an idea of the size of our "small"
sized corals. The rock it is growing on is 2-1/4" long. |
