Yeah the funny thing is all the nice shape and character the reef takes on is a product of the actual reef corals themselves it seems to me. The natural look could in fact be a pile...leave them where they lay and grow some mad colonies.

I always wanted shelf rock for my big tank but the shelves themselves were obviously dead pieces of plating corals. About as unatural as you can get. The shelves ideally would be your plating corals etc. In the really killer, mature tanks you can't even see the rock anymore.
