    I have mine in separate areas because they grow so fast I did not want them to over grow each other. Especially the polyps. i got one in September that had 3 heads and now has over 20. Grows like a weed but looks much better.

    That is what i have done for the most part.Cheap and the colors you can pick from our numerous. There is a store in Sarasota that sells frags for 6-10 each and amazing colors. I can actually go into the store see a "large" rock and ask them to frag it for me and they will. It keeps my cost down and watching them grow is fun. It also saves me a ton of money. In 5-6 months I will have the "large" coral. Have fun putting up the lights. If you have to use a ladder be carefull and remember it is not the fall that hurts but the sudden stop at the end.

    wow that's awesome. And thanks my dad will be the one putting up the lights lol their trying to figure out how to not put holes in the new siding while puting up the lights, so we'll see what my dad uses to hang up the lights, we usually use a staple gun, but with them redoing our househe doesn't want to leave multiple holes

    lol just to piss you off i will not put the new coral on the "rock over there" :lol:

    I got some when I lived in NC and they slid under the siding. I think i got then at lowes and they were cheap. A couple of bucks for a pack of 50 or so.
