Ok, be gentle :) For fish, we know that tank size impacts the type/amount of fish, but from a coral perspective does tank size affect the size of how corals can grow?
Only with respect to water volume and stability.

Other than those two things, not one bit!

Thanks - I thought so, but wanted to check in just in case. I think I'm in trouble as is since I'm sure all the corals will outgrow the tank's size - I guess I'll just have to get another tank :)

Fragging is how we keep corals within our tanks confines. Every coral has the potential to out grow any size tank, Keeping it alive that long is another story.

Every see some of the massive colonies in the ocean of some of the common corals we keep in the hobby?
