    Corals not growing and I don’t know why?!?

    Hello all, I’m having some troubles with the corals in my 65g tank. It’s my first reef, so keep in mind I’m fairly new to this.

    Favia coral placement

    I recently got this favia and put it on the rock as a place holder, but it looks pretty unnatural. Will it grow around the rock over time or still look out of place? I don't want to put it on the sandbed because I'm scared my conch will destroy it. Thanks

    Not sure what’s lgrowing

    Does anyone know what these clear things growing are? Came back from vacation and there is probably 50 spread out on the right side of the tank next to my frogspawn. Could it be baby frogspawn? Thanks!

    What is growing on my candy cane?

    I have noticed a small tube growing on my candy cane, since I've noticed it I can also see that the candy cane isn't quite as "happy" as it was before. Any ideas on what it could be? Pics below: I did recently spot feed some reef roids which is what is being dragged towards the tube.

    Treating SPS like Bonsai Trees

    Quite a while back a random frogspawn polyp came loose and landed directly on a purple stylo branch. It killed the stylo polyps closest to it and what was eventually left was a stark white spot.
