I feel you, however it's part of the game to let them grow out and fill the tank. in my tank I see so many spots until I have the coral on hand ready to glue and I'm like F#c4k this will need space too grow and it won't have it.

IMO wait a bit, let stuff grow and see what you can keep long term and adjust the look based on this.

Green Star quickly takes up real estate and will cover anything if you let it. Ok on a separate rock where it cannot reach anyone else.

Torches require space or they will sting dead neighbours. I keep them all together, the don’t bother themselves.

I run them all, right on the sand bed.

Mix hammers and frogs all together cause they play nice.

That’s an expensive list!

Stuff is relentless.

i actually like that look is the GSP harming the leather?

Lets go! Solid list of coral! You can never go wrong with more haha!

I agree with the GSP comments. To combat this, I added mine to the back wall and now it is spreading. I still get the sway of the green grass, but it keeps to the wall and doesn't overtake any of the existing coral. One way to go I guess.

Based on your list, I would suggest creating a hammer/euphyllia garden. Seems like you have some space right center sanded, and a nice garden of swaying euphyllia would be sweet!

Any updates?

Definitly make a torch garden :)
And a Goni garden!

Easier said than done, but such solid advice!
