This leads to another question and I hope the OP does not mind. If you are like me and have lots of small frags to grow out. Do you do crowd control by trimming back corals or do you let nature take its course and let stuff just grow in together?

Personally I am just letting everything grow in together. I have some palys that are growing SUPER fast and were taking over a rock pretty quickly so in an effort to control how many there are, I simply put my new RBTA right on top of them. Needless to say it eraticated some of them and whats left fits nicely with the anem. I am fixing to trim back some corals this weekend because they are starting to over grow some other favs but for the most part if a zoa or paly grows into a frog spawn or acan ill just let it ride unless of course I have a favorite of the 2 and its losing the battle then ill intervene.

Thoughts?
