Elephant Ear or Not????

[freedom75]

Can someone please let me know if this is an elephant ear or not. It has reached almost 12 inches across. It eats a good amount of shrimp in one week. I would like to know what he is I was told he was an elephant ear when I got him. There are now six babies behind it . Can any one tell me what he is ...

Thank you

Does not appear to be an elephant ear to me. Looks more like what I've seen as a metallic green or hairy mushroom. It'll get quite large, but nowhere near the size of an elephant ear, which can get HUGE. I had an elephant ear that was well over 18" before, and probably would have grown larger had it had more room. The metallic greens are pretty cool, though, and I like their coloration much more than the elephant ears.
