Those are some awesome looking coral in there! How long haver you had your tank?

I’ve had this system set up for 1year 1month.
The refuge was set up 2 months prior.
But Liverock was transferred from my 100 g system that was 2 years old

Not much but 150lbs of live rock. Tanks now 15 days old.

This looks like it has potential to be really nice
Where did you get the seaswirl ?

If I have to choose one it would be Favia of the Gods, but I would say that each coral has its charm

So beautiful! Thanks..

I have a bunch of RFAs.. How big of a step is it to take care of BTAs?

BTAs appreciate more stability, more light and are pickier in where they plant their foot. Give them really good light and a very knobby/holey surface and they'll be OK.

I think I can provide all of that.. Do they move alot? Are they vicious to any fish, inverts, or other corals?

They can sting other corals, and they can be unpredictable. Powerheads are a risk if yours are migratory. In my admittedly limited experience, they work best on an island right below strong light. Critically important, gove them rocks with great footholds. This is the rock I used for my nem island:

There are 3 pieces to that structure. The big base rock is dried real reef rock from Marshall Islands, circa 1970s. The two top pieces at the top leaning against each other are dried real reef rocks (branchy) from Fiji, also circa 1970s.
My nems move around, but mostly in a circle at the top of the rock, occasionally changing between one knobby groove and another. Might be related to when they are getting ready to split, because nee splits don't like sitting next to each other.

Hope that helps!

P.s., I also think feeding regimens help. If there is frequently planktonic foods floating about, I *speculate* that they are more likely to stay put, because if there's no food floating about, I'd want to move somewhere else, too. I feed Reef Jerky 4x per day from a Plank and also dose phyto, OysterFeast, Reef Nutrition PacPodsFeast and ArctiPodsFeast. There's lots of stuff floating around that gets eaten by everything.
