hello - I'm fairly new to corals, I've had a torch and kenya tree for almost a year. I've since added the following:

- Green Mushrooms
- Leather Toad Stool
- Green Star Polyp
- Polys
- Zoas

I have couple questions around placement. I essentially built this up with the idea that the mushroom corals would over grow all of their rocks, also expecting the green tree polys will do the same. Ultimately have a reef tank that has little to no actual rock showing.

Questions;
- Will the hairy mushroom coral overgrow it's rock and spread without me fragging it or do I need to frag it?
- The Kenya Tree is fairly out of control, I believe I may need to begin trimming - any advice will be helpful.
- Any additional recommendations I could add that will bring new colors (blues, reds or something other than what's there?)

Thanks,
