I have a cyphastrea frag that’s encrusted onto the frag disk, but the frag is off the rock work and looks very out of place. The encrustation is currently very thin, but polyps are multiplying. Will this “beef up” with a base skeleton or stay thin-looking?

It will beef up a bit but not much.
cyphestrea has a fairly thin skeletal structure. Mine are encrusting from the rack up and the whole tops are like white and have polyps. Looks weird lol.

I love Cyphastrea- sorry for not answering the query
Hah, not at all I’m digging this too. Had it in a pretty low light area to start with and it struggled. It’s really looking better with more light, but couldn’t/didn’t get it flusher to the rock.
