I added a blue linkia last Saturday to my 65g aquarium. I did the usual

Just sitting here gazing into the tank and a question that I've never
thought of before came to mind.
I'm familiar with coral propagation through what I've read on the web or in
a book. SNIP and glue.

I bought a 75 gal tank very wide.  The inseem measurements are 35"x17".  The
