New or the site and a first time poster (lurked for a while, but joined to post this questions).
In the aquascaping design phase of a pico tank. With that in mind looking for a spherical coral (shape matters more at this point) that doesn’t get too large (smaller the better but 4” to 5” in diameter would be acceptable).
With my limited experience ‘brain coral’ comes to mind. However, I have no idea if any fit the bill (ones that get larger, but are very slow growers may be ok). So have a few questions.
1) Knowing ‘Brain Coral‘ is a large group of several genera, is there one species that will work?
2) The placement will be on the sand bed, I had read that for Rose coral in the Caribbean one form lives on the sand bed and it retards it growth, is that true for any aquarium species?
3) When placing on the sand bed would it be better with or without the frag plug?
So in a nutshell, looking for a spherical coral, that stays small, I can slow the growth, or grows extremely slowly.
Thank you in advance.
