Any tips on how to get the coral to plate perfectly like that?? Rather than forming shelves.

Amazing coral. I like the green one hiding in the back too! : o

Thank you all.
AudioAdict, no tips, 2 my effos have the same form. I guess, it's just luck.
TwistedTiger, I run 400w radium bulbs.

Khanh,

Very nice!

Do you remember when efflos were starting to come in a few yrs back and it was the coral to have with a good price tag? It still looks great!

I'd also love to know what size tank that is. Do you have any aggression problems with all those tangs? I'd love a powder blue in my upgrade. I've gotten some suggestions not to keep him though. =/

Awesome coral! On another note if you ever get out of the hobby that can double as a real table top.
