FTS. Where and what corals?

[Bent]

Here's a FTS from today. What corals would u get next and where would u place them?

I need something in the shady area under the overflow box behind the toadstool. In thinking a softie of some type or even filling up and camoing a piece of PVC with some sand for a tube nem.

The nems I currently have are taking up a ton of real estate as you can see. Especially that gargantuan rock flower.

Need some idears kids.

Here's a pano if someone wants a closer look:

Sell some of them btas and free up some rock space.

 

[Reef noob_]

+1, definitely need more rock or rock space then add corals.

 

[Fishmommy]

Plenty of sand space for chalices and a nice platygyra or open brain

I got plenty of rock in the sump. Just not sure what I'm going to put on them. But selling the BTAs is easier said than done, there's no way to get them off. I've tried every trick in the book to get them out so far, (at least the small splits) and no luck.

Can you move the ph and point it at the nem?

Tried that. They just retract back into the rock and go to the other side.

Maybe put something to cover the light on that rock and get em while they are on the move?

That's a good idea. Might try that. When I did my 3 day blackout they never moved though. But I guess it's worth a try again. The one bta is just plain enormous.

I mean look at it, it's bigger than my hand and my hand ain't small:

Ok let me know how it works if you try it Maybe if you keep a few of its tentacles in the light it will move over?
Dayum thats pretty big. How long has it been since it split?

I've tried some times 4 hours to get them to release their foot with no avail....resulting in me taking the rock out, and a screwdriver and hammer breaking the rock apart until I had the anenomies...

ThYs what I had to do when I got them. There was an aptasia on the rock they came on, so I took the wntire rock out and had to break it up to get them off.

I'm tempted to do it again since all 4 are on the same rock.

I'd put some scolys on the sand.

 

[gavinsepanik]

Put a green slimer or a green monti cap to the upper right of the torch for more green coloration.

+1 ditch the nems and start glueing some sps at the peak. Very nice rockscaping BTW

It split maybe a month ago? It was redonkulous before it split. Both BTAs were probably 9-10" around. Dinner plate size. The smaller of the two split evenly, the bigger one did not. Just a small section broke off the main nem.

They both used to take up the entire left side of the tank.

Thank you!

Took some time to make it look less like a stack-o-rocks.

Excuse my ignorance. What is a Scoly?

 

[ColinAbi]

Yea you would have a lot more real estate when you get rid of a few of the nems and make monehhh

 

[Bent]

Would you guys keep the rock flower? I love that guy. Came with my tbs rock.
