Encrusting Coral question!

[Yuki Rihwa]

So I'm pretty much done stocking clams, now I wonder what encrusting coral that like high color/intensity I want them to cover my tank back and side walls and stay flat so it don't take up space and shade anything below it. I was plan to get Xenia and GSP taking over tank wall but Xenia don't spread like I was expected, same for GSP they are looking good but don't spread out like they should have by now lol
*Last resort option that I just let coraline taking over the tank wall since they are spreading like wild fire under high wind

Mystic sunset montipora would look cool. Have to keep it in check of course. Bright pink with blue polyps, accent the clams well I'd think.

Lol. Your tank must be too clean for the Xenia.

I grew a sunset monti on disk high up on the side of my tank.

I'm doing the same with an orange setosa right now. Those will branch a bit

Yeah, I guess my clams sucking up a lot of nutrition and they don't leave much left for Xenia.
That Orange Setosa is a nice one too, I'll find a spot for it in my tank.

Here's the colony we got rid of. Just kept a little sliver of it on the bottom of the tank.

Yes it is, I thought the mystic and cherry tree would fight but there making a wall between eachother.

hahaha I guess I failed!
I walk around LFS to look for those corals you guys suggested....I ended up with another clam!
Well after this one I officially I don't have more space for more clams unless I pack them like Sardine tin can
They have some encrust monti but they are just plain light orange color so I passed.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]
