I forgot to say, my favourite type of LPS coral is a Fox Coral. This is a coral I would love to have in my 4’ tank but I never see it anywhere anymore. It used to be as common as muck but not it’s like getting hold of a true diamond.

The most recent coral farmers market I went to had a bunch of turbida corals. It was the first time I had seen them for sale.

My god that thing is heavenly!!! What is your secret to making that thing love life?

I can only think idea place from a light, and flow, perspective as well as I’m fastidious about my water quality

Absolutely STUNNING! Any tricks on growing the fox coral? I have one that has been stagnant for over a year.

I’ve had my Fox Coral quite a while and it really only took off when I moved it to a lower flow area

One of my frogspawn is now the size of a soccer ball . Thinking of changing its name from Kermit to Wilson lol !!!

I love LPS and I have some in my softie/macroalgae dominant reef. I do not have any large show pieces however. Some hammer and frogspawn frags (that have grown) and some nice trumpets.
