Coral reccomendations

[BryanCaruso]

I have been really trying to visualize spots where frag plugs can go in roundish holes in the rocks. The rock is question I see at least 4 spots that a plug could go into. The rock is midlevel of the tank flow idk but I have the return pump a 1500gph and a 850gph so it maybe on the higher end of flow. I want something lps and encrusting with several colors. I thought of chalice any other ideas because Saturday is just around the corner. Here is the pics the highlighted areas may not be exact just a rough estimate.

Do you want to keep your frags on the plugs when they go into your display? I tend to remove the frag from the plug for a few reasons. This may give you more options for placement if you do so.

The only reason I keep frags on plugs is because the plug is encrusted.

I was planning on leaving it on the plug. I am also looking for torches and hammers but if it is just the skeleton I can wedge it or epoxy it. I could do some nice zoas but that is a really big rock to sorta waste with zoos.

On a unrelated coral. My mother went to michaels in Edwardsvile after dog training classes she can't walk real good because of bad knees so I help her out anyway. I hate michaels but petco is right next door like I said earlier I have been out of the hobby for awhile. I saw this interesting coral sorta like clove polyps and gsp. It was blue sympodium I googled it I am kinda interested in it as it does not seem invasive as gsp and Xenia eventhough I read it is in the same family. I have a lower rock in mind unless you think it is a mistake because I made the Xenia and gsp mistake before never again

 

[kegogut]

Sympodium is just as invasive as GSP. If you plan on keeping it make sure its an island rock and away from everything else.

I am good on that

Mushroom ricordia

I have another rock down lower I want to do ricordia on as long as they can do partial shade I have a little over hang. But on that higher rock I would like a lps if they can play nice
