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

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......

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

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.

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!
