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.

One of my favorite sps! I’ll gladly take a flat piece lol.
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
