any type of cap other than maybe a leng si
poscillipora or stylofora
green slimer or other very fast growing acros
 
Pocillopora damicornis for me. That is definitely taking over my tank.
 
Plating and encrusting montis.
The Xenia of sps.

Accidental frag took off. Look between the piorities. It's all over that Rockne the back side.

Hope this is not considered high jacking but does piorites = Christmas Tree Worm Rock (CTWR).

Also what is your source for the (CTWR)..
Thank you
 
Encrusting monti would be my number one to keep out.
 
Pocillopora...I didn't listen last time around when @evolved warned me about it...I should have. ;Eggonface ;Facepalm I ended up with bits of it springing up EVERYWHERE! :mad::mad::mad: Never again! I won't allow it within 40 feet of my current or future tanks. :cool:
 
Many thanks to you gents for your contributions....
hopefully potentially invasive sps can be avoided by all....
an interesting article on coral reproduction http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/3/corals.
Hopefully my new purple stylophora frag doesn't do the brooding thing.
 
It’s been fun reading through this thread on evasive SPS! I was just thinking that even 20/25 years ago, a thread like this would have never been around! We’ve all come a long way in reef keeping! :D
 
Acros... Many of them are just looking for a reason to suddenly die and have their tissue decompose in the tank! Last two tanks are "acro free" zones!


Forgot about Pocillipora... Was a mess in my sps biocube. Very cool at 1st to see them pop up though.

Monti cap has been growing like a weed and will have to be removed form the 75g in the next few months. Dont think I'll be moving it to the 150g but if I do, it will be on a small island by itself so it's easily removed/pruned.
 
The one with AEFW eggs...
