For me there were several reasons:

1) The dimensions of the smaller tank required a fairly central structure and in order to optimize placement for corals the "Bonsai" formation was an easy option.

2) The "Bonsai" formation allows for good water flow throughout and around the entire structure and minimizes contact with the sand leaving most of it exposed.

3) I was getting bored with other more traditional structures and this allowed me to try something different.
