Fast Spreading Corals You Hate So That I Can Add Them To My Tank

[Pickle_soup]

Please list some corals that you hate because they grow so fast. If you can include pictures that would be awesome. I will add them to my tank to see which one wins.

Clove Polyps. GSP.
Don't hate them. But they encrust and grow quick.

 

[Pickle_soup]

I have GSP frag, I love them. Not a big fan of Cloves unless they are pretty extra ordinary.

cespitularia is a very fast grower, its a beuatiful coral, but I took it out of my tank after a year cause I was tired of cutting it back.

Xenia and GSP are kings of **** my tank. I put Duncans pretty high up there also but at least they are easy to manage and control.

Discomas mushrooms. This rock was mostly green striped mushrooms until the reds took over.

Yeah, I would be a bit unhappy about it, but at least the clowns are hosting them.

Poicillipora. It spawns and I'll find tiny pieces across the tank in random spots. I have to put a piece of putty on it to stop it.

 

[Reeflix]

I never knew that sps can be a pain.

 

[The_Paradox]

No one has mentioned Kenya Tree yet .

Yup. They will attack their neighbors. Many encrusting stonies will take over large areas of rock.

As for the poicillipora, I swear it would grow in the back of a toilet.

I have one of these bad boys. I can't wait until I find little branches of it all over my tank.

The attacking part that I know of, but I always though that their growth was very manageable.

A buddy had his tank ruined by that stuff. Seriously 4” diameter stems, hundreds of them. Spent 3-4 months fighting before he gave up and did a tear down.

A 4 inch kenya tree I got in November, has now filled out my tank all by itself. I don't hate it, but dread the day I have to clear a spot.

Edit: I posted this before reading the thread. I might have to start pulling rock to scrape them now.
