I was just doing some maintenance on my tank and knocked into my 15 inch leng sy monti.
Down it came and now I've spent the laast hour rearranging corals to try and find a spot to put it.
The way it was growing out, it was getting too close to the glass and I finally hit it. Hopefully it will stay where I put it and now I can enjoy the beauty of it.

This is how it looked before, and you couldn't see the colors unless you viewed it from the top down.

Man...Brad...when I saw the title of the thread, I thought it may be something worse....glad to see that it's a fixable problem. And you want to be able to see the colors of that beauty looking from the front - not just from the top. Hope it all works out well for ya. I love your tank.

Wow, Brad that is a nice piece. Your tank looks amazing. Glad to see it was a fixable accident. Like Craig said the title made me think it was going to be worse. Again, beautiful set up!

Brad glad to see you were to correct the problem. Hopefully it will stay in its new spot as that appears to be a much better location for you (and use ;) ) to be able to enjoy it.

I just moved some other colonies and set it there. It seems stable right now, but like I said before, all it takes is for one of my bigger fish go on a rampage and it could be an avalanch .
