Coral to "Fill in the gaps"

[LadyTang2]

Which corals (of any kind I just chose LPS forum) do you all think are best for filling in gaps between SPS? I just like that full look.

Common or rare, feel free to suggest whatever doesn't sting or take over the tank at least too quickly anyway.

I've heard blue sympodium

If your sps are just frags and not really grown in I wouldn't recommend trying to fill in the gaps. If you have colony sized ones then you could add some slower growing zoas, a maxima clam, fast growing stags in between tables. the reality is though corals close together will fight and you will have to intervene if you wish to save them

Down low shaded areas blocked from the heavy flow of an sps tank you can add some acans, trachy, scoly, lobo to fill in the base with these lower light corals

Blue sympodium can take over the tank.

from what I’ve read - those little polyps like sympodium quickly get out of control and it’s almost impossible to get rid of them. I think some people love the way they look but just think that through.

Coral's that won't sting your SPS. Zoas and Palys dress up the rock work nice.....

Best way to fill the gaps between sps is to remove all of them and replace with a bunch of hungry lps.

Zoas. Preferably slow growers. Speckled kraks would be a good choice. Slow growth and controls its population by melting

I like leptos, leptas, goniastrea favias & chalices for small encrusting fillers.
