Pick me some frags.

I need some new corals. Before we get into details, here is a current FTS:

What you don't see in this pic is the huge BTA that comes out right in the back on the left hand side. It hides until mid day when the lights are the brightest. When it comes out, and thanks to my other huge BTA splitting, my entire left side is just ruled by GBTAs.

However, the very tippy top is free real estate I think. None of the nems go near it. That's the area where the flow is the highest, so at some point I'd like to put a sps frag up there. Currently I'm thinking a birds nest, or plating monty. Any other ideas? Here's a close up of the left side:

Before anyone says anything, I know that elegance coral has one foot out the door. It's not been the same since the 80hr algae blackout. I'm still holding out mild hope he recovers.

So what else would you suggest?

Currently I have (from left to right of the big FTS pic):
Elegance
A group of clove polyps that have never opened.
Brain (favia I think)
Torch
A tiny gold shroom frag
Toadstool
A couple zoas
Orange ST plate

What else you can't see on the right is the huge rock flower that's attached to the small island. It bugged out during the black out and is now on the back of the island facing the glass, right where you can't see him ever.


What frags would you do and where at this point?

Good luck with the elegance, hopefully he makes it. How about some frogspawn and hammers?

Yeah I was thinking about those as well, any idea as to placement?

Ben, I sent you a PM

I think if you could move that coral on the right, a big hammer/ frogspawn could cover that whole rock.

There's actually no coral on the far right rock, that's actually a huge ball of red macro algae, so that's a great idea!

It just looked so anchored down I thought it was some type of coral lol.

It's kind of crazy it sprang up from no where.

Very cool. Big hammers look very nice like this.

I like it. That decides that. What about the upper most level? Birds nest?

I think that would be a good easy sps. Then you can put rare and nice looking zoas on the sand.
