Meteor Shower or Bizarro is another great one!
 
With the encrusting ones will they spread to any of the rocks that are touching the one they are on? I'm thinking yes?
Potentially yes.

Look up Electric Daisy. Often sold as a Styloconiella but has recently been reclassified as Porites.

Darth Maul Porites is another great one.

Those are both lovely as well!
 
Those flesh bands are insane 🤣
Lots of flow, light and food! All my euphyllia have crazy flesh bands except one wild Aussie torch. Funny thing is the new head that is growing has a great flesh bands. The one on the original head is improving, but VERY slowly.
 
Look at the dragon soul now! And my other little torches as well... 😆



She’s looking great Amanda, starting to stretch out.
 
Rocks reef zoa fire!
