    First off, let me say that I've had this in the tank for about 2 months and it's like tripled in size.

    But I kind of have it shoved up against the corner, so I can see where little offshoots are being pressed against the glass.
    Will it just grow up, or will the fact that it's growing against the glass stop the growth in that area?

    Thanks

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    If it looks healthy and is not impeding cleaning the glass too badly, I would leave well enough alone.

    I really like the soft coral behind it.

    Idk, i mean...I know we all like big corals in our tanks..But when you dont have enough room, frag it..Those things grow fast and once you begin to learn to be patient they will grow back in no time.

    I frag my kenya and a few other corals monthly to keep it all stable.

    I would try tilting it up more to keep the flesh from rubbing against the sand. Besides that, I say it will be just fine.

    Thanks all.
    I think I'll just slightly move it
