Pocillopora damicornis for me. That is definitely taking over my tank.

Also what is your source for the (CTWR)..
Thank you

Encrusting monti would be my number one to keep out.

Many thanks to you gents for your contributions....
hopefully potentially invasive sps can be avoided by all....
an interesting article on coral reproduction http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/3/corals.
Hopefully my new purple stylophora frag doesn't do the brooding thing.

It’s been fun reading through this thread on evasive SPS! I was just thinking that even 20/25 years ago, a thread like this would have never been around! We’ve all come a long way in reef keeping! :D

Acros... Many of them are just looking for a reason to suddenly die and have their tissue decompose in the tank! Last two tanks are "acro free" zones!


Forgot about Pocillipora... Was a mess in my sps biocube. Very cool at 1st to see them pop up though.

Monti cap has been growing like a weed and will have to be removed form the 75g in the next few months. Dont think I'll be moving it to the 150g but if I do, it will be on a small island by itself so it's easily removed/pruned.
