Acropora

I used to have them really densely packed growing into one another.

And unlike Acropora, they're not, you know, they don't have to like to slightly touch and both die.

They actually just kind of grow, you know, up against one another or one starts to take over the other, but you can get in there and trim them back.

And I found them quite easy to actually, you can make a really nice display.

These fish are found on shallow coral reefs and rarely venture deeper than 100 feet.

They exclusively eat coral polyps from coral in the genus Acropora.

Harlequin filefish are typically most abundant in areas with structurally complex, branching Acropora coral.

Larger adults tend to be spotted in monogamous pairs.

Smaller fish tend to be alone or in groups of 1-5 individuals.

And then you have in the middle of the room, there is a 10 foot by six foot by three foot deep Fully photosynthetic reef.

It is almost entirely Acropora, but you can see, like, there is large LPS that are in there.

You know, there's, like, a St. Elitha megacorlita right there and quite a few other things.

There's also a couple very large, I don't know if you can see the drosophila clam that's in the center there.

And this one was like vibrant green and it grew out in such a way.

I've never really seen anything like it.

It's like a half Ostera half Acropora, Florida.

And this thing just, it sat there and was like that big for, months and months and months.
