I seem to notice a common pattern from these responses which kind of scares me lol.........that aside, can somebody tell me why my Lion uses every new piece of coral I get as a couch?? I was about to snap a picture but he moved....he perches himself on top of the coral and sits there. Will this irritate SPS corals like it does my Yellow Figi and Pipe Organ Corals?

Looks good to me! Not sure about the lion thing, maybe block his view of the TV from your digi? :biggrin1: I doubt the digi will mind much unless it's getting nipped at; probably just won't see as much polyp extension.

Great starter coral!! Nice choice. Once you master the digitata you can open up to the vast and colorful world of acropora...LOL! Good luck man!

As of right now, my tank is predominately LPS coral. My plan (again, as of right now :smile:) is to mix green and red Digitatas along the top of all of my rock and keep it mainly LPS. I just wanted to make sure I could keep one before going crazy. My LFS has a huge selection of frags of various colors. I will admit, their other SPS corals look awfully nice though.
