    It is encrusting only, no plating like capricornis.

    LOL, I don't think many consider putting coral on the tank walls, nothing wrong with it though. If you want it there put it there.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Intense lighting
    Consistent water parameters, try to avoid swings in water chemistry, temp and SG.
    Monitor and maintain Calcium, alk and Magnesium. Decrease introduction of nitrates and phosphates or mange export of them.
    Good flow.

    That is just general information. If you want more specifics about water chemistry, this is a good link.

    From research sounds like birdsnest can be low in take for better corporation they say. Montipora la Lakers will be up fairly high and stylophora also up high. Anybody know about how fast the Hawaiian tropic zoos grow.

    Did you get your shipment in? How was packaging, etc etc. Vivid has a couple things I been looking at so I'm interested in seeing how everything turns out.
