Anthelia settling and growing on everything including pumps, algae scraper, glass, skimmer intake. It was actually kind of a nightmare.

Instant Ocean Salt
Phosban and Carbon with Protein Skimmer
Temperature 84-92F
Water change once every 2-3 months
DT's Phytoplankton every day or two

Did the anthelia spawn or do a break-off frag of itself?

Unless it was fragmenting very small bits of only a few cells, then I believe that it was spawning. New little polyps showing up on all surfaces, even high up on overflows and such.

Ricordea! I started off with one big one and accidentally tore it's foot. Best thing that's happened now I have around 13-17.

My sumo is offline since a big flood [emoji22], and I used just a normal filter at this moment. Dosed essentials. Water changes about once every 2-3 weeks. Temp 72 I think.

I have it primarily contained to my overflow columns. I did this intentionally to cover those ugly black columns. I think it looks awesome. Here is a pic from a couple weeks ago. The left side has had some more growth since and is almost fully covered.

Oh cool :)
Yea, the picture looked as though it was overrunning everything lol
