Are you seeking mainly ground covering or encrusting types to cover spaces on rocks between other corals?

POCILLOPORA! POCILLOPORA! POCILLOPORA! That stuff was the worst thing to ever invade my reef tank.
I am getting an idea here...

How will this stuff do in a tank taken over by kenya trees? I am considering making it a battle tank and adding one of these and just run a gallon of carbon.

Yep, Xenia. Have to isolate on an island or it can quickly take over. I still like to have it as the pulsing motion is so interesting.

If you put it in the right conditions a Pipe Organ coral frag can grow to the size of a basketball in a year's time. It lays down a skeleton so it might require dosing at some point.

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.
These will differ based on others tank. . . size, nutrients, flow, lighting butt you will be able to average out the top ones.
Ive never had coral like Kenyii tree move faster than a flu bug followed by pom pom xenia and palythoa coral. Come over by me and I will send you with more paly than you know what to do with it. . LOL
