Show me your bubble corals

I never see many people recommending bubble corals. But man I love mine - can sit and watch it for hours.

How do you keep it out in the open like that? Mine wants to be under overhang - hates strong flow.

Mine is pretty modest. Haven't seen much growth from it in the few months I've had it, but I love how huge the bubbles stay inflated most of the time.

Here is mine. I only got it last week but it has greatly expanded in size from what it was in the LFS and is doing great. I keep it sequestered in the front right hand corner away from almost everything else as I've seen countless online pics of bubbles extruding long sweepers and stinging everything nearby. I don't know what exact species it is, it was just labeled White Bubble. They had beautiful Green and Pearl ones too (latter was really white, my white is a bluish color as you can see in the pic) but they were $$$.

Love my green bubble. What it lacks in size it makes up for in color. Fwiw mine has been acclimated to fairly high flow which they typically hate

Starting it in lower flow and gradually ramping it up over several months. Tank is to be sps dominant so I can't go easy on flow but this is one of a handful of choice Lps I insist on keeping so it's gotta be able to hang with high light and high flow. It's doing fine and

I noticed from all these amazing pics that several of you are keeping other corals in close proximity to your Bubbles. Have you experienced any aggression problems doing that? I had a frag of couple of heads of frogspawn about 4 inches away from mine, and they wouldn't come out of the skeleton at all until I moved them away from the Bubble.

I had to move some zoas that were too close. But that's about it. I do try to give it space.
