Joshifer October 10, 2016 Share October 10, 2016 So I have a euph island. Well more of a mountain. I have only branching euphs on it. I want something that will cover the rock itself but not growing over the skeletal base of the euph's. Hopefully they'll sting and hold them back but I want the rock covered. But not by GSP or blue clove. Any other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dany3350 October 10, 2016 Share October 10, 2016 As far what corals can touch them really can't have any and if you do u will loose one or the other coral. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishie89 October 10, 2016 Share October 10, 2016 By the way even matting corals might grow over the base of the euphs. Might consider encrusting corals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squishie89 October 11, 2016 Share October 11, 2016 Name me a few please Now I am not sure if any of these can hold up to a euph sting, or if the euph can stand up to them, but here are some anyway. Monti, porites, chalice, blue ridge coral (actually a "soft" that is actually hard), favites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbowdeep88 October 11, 2016 Share October 11, 2016 Id go with mushrooms. Some encrusting "LPS" that will *help* cover rocks, will not overgrow your euphs, but MAY (likely) induce warfare: Favias (dragon soul) or chalice. Or a maze type like platygyra or Oulophyllia. Or a Favites like war coral-those grow fast. But if you really want a fun war go with galaxea-cool coral with lots of movement like you enjoy. Just extreme sweepers which will terrorize your small tank. Really you should just give the corals you already have room to grow. Last I saw they are already plenty close enough.

The rock the euphs are on the the sides are very wide. The front facing way has all the euphs. So I wanted something small for the sides. And once they get close enough the euphs should keep them at bay. Hopefully. Maybe I'll put some Xenia stalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khh27 October 11, 2016 Share October 11, 2016 (edited) Xenia will more than likely smother it as it spreads and Xenia can spread anywhere it feels Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Edited October 11, 2016 by khh27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front has the euphs. The sides are about 5 inches wide and their bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite October 12, 2016 Share October 12, 2016 (edited) Xenia gets tall, can stretch itself tall, then will take away from the nice look of the euphyllias. GSP will end up all over the place. What if you put something around the very base of the rock, instead of on it? That's what I prefer to do with mushrooms, keep them around rock bases, making a sort of colorful trim around the rocks.
