What’s up guys anyone currently have any encrusting lps in direct flow? I have a spot in the tank I need to fill that’s basically in the direct path of one of my mp 10’s probably 6” away. Would love to hear some of your experiences. Thanks
 
Any LPs should be fine besides acans in my experience.. torches, hammers, chalices, frogspawn etc all do well in my high flow sps tank… I know they’re not exactly encrusting types but favia etc would be completely fine.

So you think it would be OK getting blasted directly? I do only run the pumps at about 50-40% during the day and like only 15 or 20% at night, but it would be getting a considerable amount of flow. It’s just a weird little spot that I would like to have some color on. I actually have a couple cypahstrea frags and favites also. I will glue one of them in there and see how it goes

Should be just fine!
