Hi all. I have an arch of 1.5" dia figi branch LR that I thought would be cool to get an encrusting coral grow on. All I need to figure out is what kind of coral to get. That's where you guys come in. I need some suggestions. I have a mostly LPS tank with a couple of softies. I know I don't want to use gsp or any other type of coral that could take over the tank. I was thinking maybe a monti but I'm not sure. One thing to consider is that when doing water changes the top of the arch does come out of the water for about 5 minutes so it should be a hardy coral. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
Good encrusting coral suggestion?

I think an encrusting monti would be very cool. Most are pretty hardy, and will stand the "change of tide" pretty well.
Or you could get some of the gigantus zoanthids. I have some amazing pink ones. They grow very well, but do not take over like some of the zoanthids.
