    What sort of SPS give that ball shape (see below) colonization that are also relatively accessible and easy to care for? I know acropora humilis do, but I've read they are difficult to care for.

    What about tabling SPS? I know acropora hyacinthus does. Anything else?

    Thanks.

    One of my favorite links as well.

    I will add that you need very intense lighting and the right flow to get tabling, even tabling types will not produce the growth without the right conditions.
