Wade Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The same thing we do every night Pinky, - try to take over the world! My meteor shower is positioning itself to take over my DT. It's now at least 12" wide and gaining ground every day. is there anyway to inhibit an encrusting coral from spreading to a certain area? The picture below is maybe 3 months old. Most if the algae is gone due to some very hungry hermits and the meteor shower has spread out to cover the entire front of the rock it's on and is right up against the leptoseris and has climbed up to just under the orange digi. Not complaining about this beautiful healthy coral, just wondering if there's a way to control it. Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10gReef Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I have Spongodes that spreads pretty well too. I have one area with a RBTA near it and it seems to keep it from creeping that way... Surround it with RBTA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Lol. Yeah my GBTA is keeping my war coral from global domination on the other side of the tank. I initially thought that the coral would not grow into the shadows to get to another spot in the light, but it certainly does! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'd look at rock anemones, they stay small and pretty much stay put. That would give you an alternative to bta and a way to add some real color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 hmmm. Never considered those before. they stay put huh? Interesting. Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
