why the puddle effect

[Ya Dude]

Ive found through experience that newly added corals are some times stunted by the new conditions and never recover.Only by encrusting and growing from the sides they regrow.But I have had lots of success by clipping all the tips.They regenerate from there and look really good after awhile.Ive done that about 10 times,worked every time.It may look ugly at first but youll thank me in 3 months. That is if you try it. just do it
