Oh that is so nice to hear! I've really preached the concept that we want to create an environment where the animals we have thrive, not just survive. At times it is hard not to be selfish and be conservation minded! JMHO

I have found that the introduction of 'sps' corals into a tank containing mushrooms will do two things: They will immediately cause the 'shrooms to reproduce at approximately 5X their current rate and they will somehow give them the 'intelligence' to seek out and (with malice) destroy them...beginning with your most expensive coral first.

I am only half-kidding.

I'll give a big thumbs-up to the montipoira digitata, I keep 3 different colors under my 3x96W PC's now, growth on the purple has been fantastic. The orange has decided to encrust before growing upward, and just got the green.

The purple has been through so much abuse it's ridiculous. It's the one coral that just always gets knocked around, has fallen on my frogspawn, torch, bubble, etc and always grows back tissue at an incredible rate.

Possibly as hard to kill as shrooms provided enough light and calcium.

So while you're upgrading etc, you can definitely start with some nice digitata and see how things go.

Thanks guys for your thoughts.

Ivy, I will have a long talk with my shrooms and will tell them all about the way they go greatly with a nice steak if they don't behave.
