00W's AIO Smorgasbord

No no no on galaxies! Huge sweeper tentacles - ver agreesive

Absolutely yes on their Duncan’s - I have them

I f u can grab blueberry stlyo - do it.

Favias’ are all encrusting, I love them, but consider them more filler. I have two.

The cyph - also very small profile.

I wish u could call me.

She has a 6' tank - 2 or 3 Galaxeas should be fine.

Stylophora - yes
Pipe Organ - not yet
Pocillopora - up to you, I have one but they're invasive
Favia and Duncan - YES
Platygyra - can be difficult for a beginner coral
Galaxea - Sure, but give it room (4" or 5" min)
Litho, Leptastrea, Cyphastrea - yes
Monti - Absolutely!
Sympodium - another invasive I believe
Styloconiella and Lepto - yes

Did that help?

Litho, Styloconiella, Leptastrea, Lepto, Pavona, Psammacora, Cyphastrea ,and the Monti picks are all encrusters and will kill whatever they get close to. They also have different lighting and flow requirements so they're good for different parts of the tank.

Favias must be kept separate because they're encrusters and have 2" sweepers,.

Galaxeas have up to 6" sweepers.

Pocillopora readily propagate in the aquarium and they spread fast and easy and are hard to eradicate if they get out of hand - think Aiptasia style? Only get 1 if you do, not 2.

Pipe Organ can be tricky.

Thank you so much!

They are very pretty!

Are any of the monti I have the kind that cap?

Not on that list, no.

 

[tbrown]

The jf silver bullet and chili appear to be.

I'll look but I believe they're both encrusters...

 

[kevgib67]

This is for you @ESABOE !

 

[tbrown]

Both appear to be encrusters.

@Calmwaters :

Caps:

 

[tbrown]

Spongodes is not a Cap but plates and branches. Jedi Mind Trick encrusts and plates some. The other 3 are caps.

These have a semi-plating growth pattern.

Here is a little religious historical fact, they ate tacos at the last supper. I have a picture to prove it!

I made it.

How'd everyone else do?

Great to hear Joel! Nice day, my youngest son left early, had my mother over. The four of us ate and then went to my daughters for dessert, brownies and cheesecake. I didn’t have any dessert.

We're good. Headed out soon for dinner with my parents and my sister.
