I totally agree that managing growth is a normal part of all mature tanks, but I do want to set myself up for success instead of a constant battle with xenia for the next 10 years. Managing sps growth isn't as difficult, looking through the advice in those threads...
Everything grows when they don't die! This might be a good metric for some folks, but is too low of a bar for me to aim for. I'm planning for the 10 year show-stopper tank, not a "toss in whatever coral is convenient and see if it doesn't die" tank. Maybe I'm trying too hard? I'm fine with that.These are all beginner coral. You are a beginner. So put them in your tank and if they don’t die then you are a reefer. Xenia and gsp only grow when they don’t die.
Definitely pipe organ...score!I would eventually like to have an SPS/LPS mixed reef - so you're saying I shouldn't add any of these softies?
I'm not confident on my IDs, it could be a organpipe? There is some reddish at the base.
Not confident about the GSP id either...
