Looks like you have a good handle on things! Best suggestion I got was to be patient and go slow. I find myself still wanting to tweak things all the time but remind Myself "if it sit broke don't fix it!" Looking forward to seeing the progress of the tank!

yeah. pull the rock and let it bathe in the sun for a few hours

I don't wanna kill though...

keep it on that rock. if they get close to the edge of that rock kaulk paste.

this is your first tank, and you have a lot of quick growing softies/lps in there.

enjoy it. watch how they flow. relax. etc.

in the future you may want to get in to sps and start from little frags.

been there. done that. its fun. (the instant gratification).

later, i believe you will enjoy just cultivating a nice tank you design rather than prove to others you can grow a coral.

like i said. enjoy it

Some Macro shots...[emoji51]

Very nice tank and pics, there is nothing wrong with yellow polyp tank, saw a tank once that half of it was yellow polyps and looked outrageous. If you don't want them to spread just separate the rock from others with some space

 

[Flashy Fins]

You're off to a solid start! Nice macro shots, too.
