As far as I know, or any I've ever seen, that's as big as they get. Have seen in poorly maintained tanks, the tentacles get crazy long and skinny

From 3 to 30 in 1 1/2 years.

I had a 200+ head Duncan. I had it for 4 years and frag it two times a year to keep it small then a football.

Sorry, thought the question was how big each individual polyp can get

I have a colony that started as 2 heads that is now probably over 100 heads, it survived Sandy w/ no power for 4 days. I do think that time during Sandy affected it significantly because growth has been very slow since then. One of my favorites, but I hate having to touch them, so slimy (that's what she said).

Think you got your answer. Sorry more ppl didn't chime in. Could there be strains that grow bigger that are not known about, sure. Could some get limp or deformed through poor chemistry, sure. But....
