    I let this 12g Nano cube cycle live sand for a week, just added this hunk of live rock and a damsel the other day. Damsels are hiding in the rock alot and starting to think its too big. Thx.

    It is good fish can hide it will reduce stress and they will soon come out unless they are fighting but you would have noticed that before you put rock in. Lots of hiding places are good the more the merrier

    I think it looks good in there. Plus there is no chance of a rock slide.

    Not much creativity there. Add a few smaller pieces to give it character.

    Whether it's too big or not is all a matter of personal taste ;) If you think it's too big, take a chisel and a hammer and make smaller pieces of it ;)

    +1 on above

    its not to much rock IMO - but if your asking the question due to aesthetics, then the above suggestion is a good one

    I would break it up. More peices would give you more decorative option's. I think 1 peice would get bland pretty quick....
