Deciding on Stocklist — Green Slimer Photos Requested

[nickkohrn]

Hello,

I recently added two corals to my display that is intended to be an SPS-only system due to the high-flow and high-light environment that I have created. I added a browned Seriatopora and a browned Acropora over the recent weekend, which have had nice polyp extension since.

I live near a local farm that aquacultures their corals, and they are selling many Green Slimer frags for $20. I love the coloration of the corals, but I’m not sure how they will grow or look in a system after they have exceeded the typical size of frags.

My display is pictured below, along with PAR measurements for reference.

I would love to see photos of a Green Slimer in your system, if you have any, so that I can get a better idea of their typical growth patterns, shapes, and sizes relative to other corals.

Thank you!

They grow like weeds toward the light, here is a pic from my old tank:

I already fragged it 3 times on my new tank because it was shading slower growing SPS.

Cheers!

Thanks for the photo!

It appears that it would be good at shading corals below it.

I found a picture before I clipped it on my current build:

Weird growth pattern; it reached over another coral then started growing out horizontally.

Cheers!

That sucker surely is hairy! Did you considered the grotwth pattern when you placed it? I’m asking because that is the most difficult part for me.

My green slimer is the centerpiece of my tank

Not really. I just put it near the top away from other frags. It's about 200ish par where it is.

This is a recent photo of where it is relative to the other coral.

Green slimer pics I cut mine down to a nub, finally got tired of it, but until then let it grow pretty much out of control. If you're good at growing Acros this one will be a royal pain in the butt to keep trimmed, and it slimes, and it stinks. But they are fun for a while.

Took the LFS over two months to sell all the pieces. They may still have a couple.
