Encrusting SPS

[Reefer911]

Just wondering if there’s an encrusting SPS that likes high PARs, like 250ish

There’s a place on my rock scape that is too shallow for any branching coral so I’d like to place an encrusting variety

I have a psammacora that I will put in that spot but I also have a lemon peel Angel. Haven’t seen her nip at it but she likely will.

I’d like some info on other options that will fit well in that space and that might be safe with the lemon peel Angel.

Of course encrusting montipora, but are there others?

Leptos are a great option

250 is mid range as far as light for sps. leng sy monti and sunset monti are my favorite encrusters in my tank they grow right up into parts of my rock getting 500par.

Tubbs stellata is a cool branching monti as well

Probably my favorite encrusting coral. I haven’t had good luck with them but I’ve probably kelp them in too low light.
Some sources say they’re LPS, which I never understood

Pink Flamingo’s one of the most vibrant colors of any coral. Anytime it’s in the pictures, people think it’s saturated photo. Place a flamingo , Hulk and 24k together and colors are insane!

Everything I’ve ever read about leptoseris says that they like low light.

Are people growing them in high light areas too?
