Show Off Your Cyphastrea

Very nice. I think branching cyphastrea is the most underrated coral in the hobby.

Here is one I grew out on a skull vodka bottle

Seriously awesome. If not photoshopped, how long did that take?

Here's mine. I couldn't get a good close up.

Update on my experiment. Both are encrusting well. It will be interesting to see which cyphastrea wins out on the coral skeleton. The plastic structure only has one morph on it.

Those look awesome! Cool experiment.

Just for fun I hacked up several different cyphastreas and glued them to a dead Milli and a fake coral made of polymorph. Will be interesting to see how they grow over the two structures.

How's it comming?

Post 68 shows them now - I had two user names here on R2R to keep the (failed) anemone project separate from my personal tank stuff.

Here’s mine, FWIW. Photo doesn’t do it justice. Growth has been good since picking it about about 3 weeks ago...

Last picture is WWC Defcon Cyphastrea. Trying to find something cool to put it on before it covers up the whole frag rack like my meteor shower did

I love them but how do you grow them? Just let them encrust a rock?
