so i recently did some work on the left hand side of my tank, the green stags were getting O.O.C. (out of control)

I donated the stags to a reefing friend that recently lost his massive colony of birdnest to help fill out his tank again. I did keep a few clipping for my self
I am sure in the near future, i will have to remove some more pieces as everything is very close together. I have gone through phases where i like one coral more than the other, but the one variety of SPS i love the most is the stylo, poccis.

when I do reaquascape there will be more of these clustering corals in my tank.

so here are some mixed pics.

after the colonies removed, very messy

some macros of my stylo, poccis

and I just noticed this, it looks like some kinds chicken, just missing a beak

Its creepy, i might have to move something.

How does the pink stylo grow for you? Just curious as I always found mine (when I had one) to be agonizingly slow growing.

LOVE that pink though.

Hey Tony,

I do find them to be a bit slow, which is good for me as I really like there colors and shapes.

I think there is an exception to the slow growing part, this would be Coral Masters rainbow stylo. I had gotten a frag of it awhile ago and its now a small colony, very fast growing and very cool colors.

Looks Great John

Lots more room for even more coral

You mentioned a while back that you were looking for a new light fixture. Did you change your lighting in the end?

even with the large colonies removed, i still had even coral to fill in the gaps. hehe.

i did not change my lighting yet, i am still debating on what to do, as there are very few 72inch t5 fixtures, lots with MH combos, but I think am going to stick with the t5s.

I did think about trying to add a fixture to this, but even this is a bit difficult as it has to be a certain width, and everything i am finding is either 4 or 5 inchs to wide.

and i think if i add a center brace it will take away from the open top look. the reason for the center brace would be so i can add 2, 3ft t5 fixtures/
