Hey,

My few months old space invader frag is getting a little beefy and top heavy. It's probably time to mount it. Most of the eyes seemed to have formed on the outside "curve" of the cup shape it's trying to make. Should I mount it vertically, like it's been, or try to do it sideways in some way to assist it in finding it's natural shape?

If it’s happy on the sandbed you could get a small piece of rock to put it on so it looks a bit more natural than the plug. I think most keep their pectinas down low and on the sand bed both due to its low light demand, and it’s long sweepers that can be mean to nearby corals
