Interesting rock for sure. They would look great covered in zoanthids.

I like the open space and water flow through the rocks, I know it doesnt look to good now but I think eventualyy when they do become covered in corraline and zoanthids like rosseau said it will look much better

I understand the attraction to tonga branch. I have a huge chunk of it in my system.

It seems to be the dominant LR in your tank though, so be careful and add livestock at a reasonable rate. Tonga branch isn't very porous, and thus is limited in its capacity for biological filtration.

wow thanks zotzer I didn't even think of that, one good thing is that I do only have one fish so that helps a little

Those clowns will almost host anything!
As you buy coral you will probably collect LR they are attached to anyway.
