    And unfortunately I am slowly learning that! Does Xenia kill any other corals with their stinging cells or does it just smother the light out from other corals? It is growing quite close to some of my SPS and I don't want it to sting it do death.

    So besides Xenia, what are some other corals that I could possibly cover the back glass with to create that same effect?

    GSP?
    Zoanthids?
    Palys?
