I seem to be on a streak lately and I was thinking of testing my luck with a tougher SPS coral. I am currently considering the following...
ORA Hawkins Echinata
Forest Fire Digitata
Green Slimer
ORA Red Planet
I run a mixed reef with a heavy emphasis on LPS corals so choosing an SPS that doesn't rely on a SPS dominate or ultra low nutrient system is key. The location receives medium flow and about 300 par next to a 7" colony of seriatopora. A taller or less full (as to not create a shadow) profile is also preferable. Any thoughts, experience or advice is welcome. As always, thanks for reading!
