@Turkeysammich How long do you think a BigR Walt Disney has been around?
Grok 3 says
Approximately 10 years.
The “Big R Walt Disney” is a strain of Acropora tenuis coral originally named and introduced to the aquarium hobby by Mike Bigger of Big R Corals around 2015. It has since become one of the most popular and widely traded acropora corals, known for its vibrant green base, yellow-orange polyps, and blue axial tips. As of September 27, 2025, this marks about a decade of its presence in reef aquariums, where it has been propagated through fragging and sold across North America and beyond.
That’s pretty new to me. Again. Just a conversation. I never grew one so I don’t know how fast or slow. But let’s say. Purple monster slow. Well. 10 years. You would just have a decent colony.
