soft coral growth

[Saltwater_hobbiest]

I have recently been trying to control how my soft corals grow so they are all perfect. How do I stop myself from trying to control how they grow? I am always trying to move/frag the corals because I think they will grow how I want them to grow but it never turns out well.

I actually don’t have any idea how you get them to grow the way you want, but I totally get the feeling. My husband and I are always joking, that the reef tank is my therapy project, because I cannot control it completely/ make it do what I want, but just have to accept, that it does what it does (I find new stuff in there almost every week and corals sometimes don’t like where I want them to be so I have to move them). Makes me sometimes panic, because I am used to fresh water tanks where you put in plants and fish/shrimp and don’t have many surprise guests.
