SPS at Surface

[kirkwood]

What happens when your SPS meets the water surface? I'm assuming it stops growing or will just grow laterally? The coral is a staghorn.

Grows laterally.

Here's an old thread on RC. Sounds like some table and some just stop growing.

I've seen them grow laterally at the surface. The lower parts just die off.

Frag it!

Thanks for the advice. I will wait and see what happens. For now I will just be proud that the green slimmer is a foot and a half tall and counting. Crazy to think that in the wild this would just be a frag. LOL

That's what I've seen as well. Really not pretty IMO but a cool accomplishment for your tank I guess.

just make a flat spot. no big deal... I agree with MPH though.. it isn't attractive.

That being said if you move it down it will eventually grow "right" again
