Hey everyone!
Today whilst working at The Fish Crew (my LFS and employer), I was cleaning our Red Sea Max S-500, on which we replaced the t5s with a Kessil ap-700 just last week. We are using it as a display SPS tank. It has lots of acros, some montis, and pocillipora. Something caught my eye on one of the rocks, it was a small patch of pocillipora growing (see attached pictures).
After looking around, I found at LEAST 45 different patches of pocillipora all around the tank (including on one power head, one on the silicone, and a few in the refugium).
This hasn't happened with any of the montis or acros, but I think it's probably the coolest thing I've seen (even though it's going to start taking over other coral).
Just look for the little fuzzy green/purple bits in these pictures!
