Csalt Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Have some vertical rock face and would like to know if there are any lps that will grow on it. I think blastomussa will. Anything else? Quote Link to comment
gena Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Trumpet coral would be cool...like branches sticking out. Quote Link to comment

Rene Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There is an awesome research article about cave dwelling corals on the great barrier reef. Tons of stuff will grow on a vertical rock face, this is what I'm doing in my current pico. If your rock face doesn't get a ton of light, many chalice corals, leptoseris, stylocoenellia, psammacora and others would like it there. And that's just the hard corals. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.int-res.com/articles/meps/10/m010p173.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwi31o393bLWAhVFwiYKHe2_BIYQFggvMAI&usg=AFQjCNGwjhAeJW9wrESfGkVsVSXDRKcd9w Quote Link to comment
Thrassian Atoll Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Cyphastrea would be a good choice too. Quote Link to comment
TheBig053 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Some brightly colored dendros could be cool. Quote Link to comment
flatlandreefer Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Is it up against a tank wall or just vertical and shaded? Quote Link to comment

Ordered a frag pack from Ebay a couple weeks ago. $99 for 9 frags shipped. Going to go lps. I have bad luck with sps. Took the pic the day after adding them. The goniopora has good extension now.

As a heads up, I've learned that the red or pink varieties are more aggressive. They will attack their neighbors. But the green and turquoise shaded ones are perfectly pleasant corals . 1 Quote Link to comment
fishkeepersaltnfresh Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I just got another pound of dry rock. It is a flat rock which I was planning to mount vertically (haven't envisioned the final layout). I have a Candy cane which has 3 heads on 3 different branches. They are currently resting on the sandbed. I will frag the smallest branch and mount it on the vertical rock. Will keep you posted (if I am successful). Quote Link to comment
