I notice some of your pics showing how your corals are pushing out and starting to plate. Is what mine is doing a function of the water flow? I have a small amount of cross-flow from both directions and it's under where the skimmer dumps out. Any help's appreciated.
longra, you may have to place your echino on a flat surface to get it to grow horizontal. I have several that will droop like yours and form a hard dome-shaped skeleton. That makes it difficult to frag and I don't think it looks as nice as the flat growing ones.

I glued the edge of a flat frag onto this vertical rock and you can see that the growth is "dripping" downward where it is unsupported and upward where it is against the rock:
