I believe it is just a standard ora red goni. I purchased it from @AsianReef a while back
Thanks that's who I got mine from but it doesn't look anywhere near as deep red as the one in your photo.

Yeah when I got it I set it in that spot and haven't moved it since. Probably getting 150 par I'd guess

Tanks doing well. Nothing new to report really. Every 3 months or so I have to do some manual bubble algae removal but it's easy to remove and is a much better alternative than going the vibrant route again. Plus it's very satisfying to see it all pulled away. I stopped trying to suck it all up and instead manually grab the bigger clumps and then for the smaller pieces I put foam guards on my powerheads and they catch whatever I don't. Works out really well.
I'm completely out of real estate yet still end up trying to make room for "one more piece". Hopefully it won't look as busy when I move over to 170, whenever that is.
I took a couple of pictures, mostly of my red/pink sticks to show them some love.

Fishfoo Cigarettes After Sex. I thought the BC Rainbow Brite had some red polyps but this is on a whole different level
BC Bliss. This is the encrustment taking off from where I originally placed the frag and then moved to a different location.

Amazing corals! Amazing colors! Amazing photos!
I am finding out the hard way that if you keep adding more and more frags when there isn't the available space, the corals will make it known to you that they're overcrowded.

Wonderful Job, beautiful tank.
Picture game is on point. 
Dude you have the magic formula. Unbelievable growth and color!!!

Decided to try another video but again, not the best at them. This was an hour or so before lights off so blue's only as I'm sure you can tell.
Awesome. That tank is sure dialed in.
Some of those are encrusting like crazy.
OP
OP
Yeah it's not great. I tried to mount them so that the frag plug length would prevent them from encrusting down. It worked for some, but for others not so much (or I just forgot to mount them on plugs in the first place). The Heartbreaker is insane though, it just keeps going and going.
A good problem to have.
Unless you're out of real estate, like you said. Could always glue over some of the encrusting coral and drop a new plug on top and let them battle it out.

Yes I'm definitely out of real estate. The gluing over solution will be my plan of attack, thanks for the idea!A good problem to have.
