My garf bonsai keeps spreading and slowly killing my other corals, including other acros. Any way to keep it from spreading??? I didn't know it's going to behave like a encrusting monti! It's not going vertical, just spread and spread.

A lot of acros like to lay skin before branching. It’s the nature of the beast!

OK I talked to an acro master, He said you must have really high flow, is that true?

yup, really high flow and really high light. the sucker is right under a Kessil AP700 and getting direct flow from Maxspect Gyre. Should I just superglue the edges to stop it from spreading?

He said it’s trying to grow away from the flow! Cut a Frag off and spread kalk paste on unwanted skin. Make sure you have all powerheads turned off. Then reglue Frag in less flow on its own rock.

I have a frag of it that spread all over the frag rack. If I can get it off in one piece, it's yours! Will let you know next weekend. Just be careful where you put it...hahahha
