Hahahaha, it's a rough life. My sympathies. At least not the WHOLE lot seems to be spawning on you and starting to grow in places you didn't expect to find them. I can just see it now: open the fridge "WHAT THE .... YOU DAMN CORALS! STAY OUT OF MY FRIDGE!" Soon they'll be following you on runs and chatting your ear off when you're trying to concentrate on a .. a .. whatever it is that runners think about when they're running. I have no idea, but I imagine it's something like "what am I going to do about all these darn corals?".

Terrible. Just terrible! Oh the humanity.

I'd offer some useful advice like "Have you tried not buying corals?" or "You should find the appropriate corals that you like best and stay with those" but .. truth be told I have no idea what the solution is. Asking on Canreef is probably the worst thing you can possibly do if you are expecting a serious answer to the question..

Well that there be the crux of the problem, eh? Ya, I tried. I failed. Anytime I see a new frag of something I don't have, it follows me home. And it appears it's not just me.
you wait, Tony, I'm going to save your reply for one day when you might run out of room....(it could happen!!)

Kinda funny I'm picturing an episode of "Hoarders" with frag tanks on every wall stacked to the ceiling... but I'm sure no one is quite at that point....yet!

Brad if your corals are not growing out of the water like they were in my old 130 gal you have room.
Corals are like Jello, & since there's always room for Jello, there's always room for another frag.
Your tank look great!

Just like in in the show, you should buy a 2nd home or trailer to live in and then there would be more room for tanks...
