Sounds like it. Just add a few and see how it goes... some of those are real good growers.

I think as long as your levels are real good and your corals arn't touching each other you shouldnt have a problem.

Be aware that lps corals like bubbles, hammers & frogspawns can grow much larger than a 20g footprint. They also have very potent sweepers and are almost impossible to frag, unless the branching frogspawn type coral.

Also a friends toadstool is easily over a ft. sq. but it can at least be cut down.

I agree with Flatlander. I think the bubble coral will be the worst culprit. I have stayed away from that sucker for the that very reason.

Frogspawn, I have the branching, so its not a big deal, I just cut off a branch. It actualy just recently divided into 4 heads.. woohoo.. and has a ton of little heads growing off the stalk.
