our pink lemonade and Pink and bluetip table acro we are hanging with some fishing line from the centerbrace. So it can just focus on growing and not encrusting. First time doing this and i dont no anyone that has done this besides a Fish store 70miles from me Petswear house witch is where i got the Idea from, His name is Kevin. He told me they Grow them like this in the Wild. So i thought i would try it at home

so i found some fishing line and made it happen. If it works well i might make a over hang just for this. I think it would look dope as heck anyways.

Thanks for all the kind words. i have some more and have gone threw a ton of SPS i will take some DEAD FILES photos so yea. Ill be sure to keep you posted on things! and more photos.!

I like the stylo and pocci. I just saw a display where someone had put 5 or 6 of these on an island. It was pretty cool, lot of colors and for lack of a better word, a lot of interesting texture since these all have different types of branch formation and lots of long polyp extension. These coral don't get a lot of attention but they are all really pretty. You have made some great choices already. I very much like your move into sps

I remember a handful of coral farmers were doing the string thing about 8-10 years ago to get more value out of tank space. It never seemed to really catch on. I thought it was neat how the corals would grow up the string so to speak.

Nice collection man, I'm a zoa/sps only guy myself.

It puts more focus into growing then having to encrust. its pretty sool i cant wait too see the outcome with the piece i have it on with the string.
