How large are they now?
The clam holders are 3.25" long. Largest Maxima is just slightly smaller. The crocea on the left was added later and started about 1.5", now maybe 2.25".
So bit of a setback. As they always tell you, don't change things when before you on vacation. I stupidly changed out a heater with a new one. Turns out it was in the stuck on position and it was unseasonably warm in the house while we were out. Temp went from 78 to 83F at peak and I tried to control it with the AC. Lost my big space invader chalice and another one immediately. Haven't lost a chalice in years.
Later my big hellfire torch went from this:
To this a couple weeks later:
I managed to save two polyps I hope.
I did add some nice things from WWC however. This real nice green speckled cynarina along with the WWC Wow and Jell-O shot cookie acropora:
The "bounce chalice" is the WWC cosmic candy
Mine vs. the mother colonies. It's just starting to show the green.
Realized also that my MP40s weren't synced by side so I finally have left and right going at the right intervals.
Frag swap items have been mixed. One ultra acropora RTNed on me. @Yippee however was super kind and passed along a frag of POTO Cofefe that's doing well so far.
Challenges as always even at the one year mark passes since I put rocks in!

Sorry, how exactly did the incident with the heater happen? I know you have the king of heater controllers, aka. aqualogic/ranco, so there should be no issue with a heater in an on position (although it looks like your ambient temp was warm too).
