Messing around with encrusters

[Leishman]

I have done a few designer shaped cyphastreas and montis in the past:

Four different cyphastreas

Bling Bling Cyphastrea

Three Cyphastreas

RR Tropic Thunder Monti

RR Tropic Thunder Monti take two:

Very cool! I might try something like this!

 

[TheShrimpNibbler]

That’s a really cool idea! I might have to try that one day once I get some encrusting corals.

And my latest trial will be on this...

After the print, I decided it was way too big, and buoyant buoyant, to be kept as one piece. Printed at 20% fill.

Still trying to decide on what to attach to these guys. Will defiantly be doing one each of OG Tyree Sunset Monti, Bizzaro Cyphastrea, Darth Maul Porites. Not sure on the others.

Stay tuned......

Really cool idea and great execution of it.

Rik your the encruster master! If you take the time to let the darth maul take over that plastic piece that would be crazy looking. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing! Are these all your tank or did you make them for other people too?

This is like what I'm doing with my blue ridge though it's taking it's sweet time to do much of anything :P

Wow, no lie I was thinking about doing this the other day!!!! I tho ught "how cool would it look if some sweet montis/cyphastrea took on the form of acros."

Amazing!

The first two in this thread I sold here on R2R. They were just A trial. I never planned on keeping them. The huge one was made for Justin, one of the owners of Avast Marine. Grew that one in the sump! I will most likely sell both of the RR Tropic Thunder ones at some point.

This is really cool idea. They look fantastic when they grow in!

Looks interesting.
Love the maxfli towel btw....Brings back some memories

Decided to start with a Bizzaro Cyphastrea. Had a couple of fully encrusted 3" discs, so i decided to slice one up.

The dust cloud was crazy. Should have worn a C-19 mask!

and a smaller second one:

Had about 10-12 frags left over so I started a 5"x5" tile with 4 nice chunks and mounted the rest on rubble for the next frag WAMAS or CMAS swap.

Following, Cool idea.
