Krux Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hello all, I have some seriously nobby rock, and I want to find something that will encrust over it. I am thinking a super colorful lepto, a couple of cool encrusting montiporas, or a nice cyphastrea or two. The pockets in this rock are around 1/2" deep, so it needs to be something that has some serious depth to it, or something that can grow across the spans in the rock. I need to eventually cover an area the size of a football. I guess the other option would be ensconcing it in ricordeas... Any ideas from someone who has tried to deal with this super bump Fiji-esque rock? Photo attached for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krux Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Alright, lepto is, thanks for the suggestion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Agreed, lepto's are fast. They're also not good fighters which makes that a good combination. Monti's can be like a wave of death in some cases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krux Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have my eyes on a couple of monties, rainbow is one of them. The tank is rather small so I need to be selective so the tank isn't overloaded. I also really like the jedi mind trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
