Add shelves to your tank: Do you keep tabling corals in your reef tank?
While Montipora capricornis (sometimes referred to as a Monti cap) is one of the more well-known tabling corals that are kept in the reef aquarium, there are other tabling species that tend to grow flatter and appear to be in a shelf, plate, or table shape. This can be a nice visual contrast to the branching or encrusting corals that many reef keepers enjoy. Pictures from the wild show these tabling corals to grow very large – truly a sight to see! Do you keep any tabling corals in your reef tank? Please tell us about your experience and feel free to share any tips that you have for keeping this shape of corals.
