    Very pretty congrats, you will want to run carbon 24/7 with the toadstool in the tank they are hard on SPS corals.

    I know that a lot of people don't like to break off coral from the plugs because they think that is like cutting away the growth, but imo, it will look better if you break the slimer off the square plug and glue it right to the rock, the digitatas will like to encrust so it doesn't matter, but that ORA Red Planet, just bust it off the ora plug and remount it, the amount of encrusting will be regrown in a month. The way you have it, the coral is going to want to grow down the plug, and into the crevice it's wedged in. If you break it off, and glue it to a spot where it flat and easy to encrust, you will get faster branching from that coral.
