Why hasn't gem encrusting been done more often?
One of the curiously underdeveloped aspects of the lore is that some of the gems can be encrusted on certain objects to grant them magic powers. We only see this occur with Lapis Lazuli being trapped in a mirror and being used for a guidebook on anything gem related until it decided to break out of it's prison.
After this, we never saw or heard of any other examples of gems being used to magically empower items ever again. It's not even referenced or even threatened that say...a ruby squadron would be used to empower a flaming sword or a gem could be imprisoned in a ring that can be used to grant their abilities to the wearer. I don't even think the rules of encrusting are even firmly established.
It almost feels like the writers kind of forgot this was kind of a thing that can happen, even if does seem out of character for most people, let alone our heroes, to even want to encrust gems on anything.
When you spend all your start up money on hardware you’re stuck with frags lol. Start from the bottom lol. Some montipora digita, encrusting monti frags, chalice frag, cyphastrea frag and stylo frag! Hello SPS world!

Found this SPS skeleton, any idea of an encrusting coral I could grow on it for something original?
Colpophyllia natans of the family Faviidae is a species of hermatypic coral distributed throughout the Caribbean, Florida, the Bahamas, and the Gulf of Mexico. They occur in shallow back and fore reef habitats between 0.5-55 m of depth. Colonies are hemispherical or encrusting with sinuous valleys.
To new players: Avoid selling gems directly to the trader. Encrusting a gem will, at a minimum, double the value of the gem.
Anyone else here collect antique bottles underwater? Here is my collection from dives I did last fall in Newfoundland, Canada. Also I dissolved the encrusting algae off with vinegar from all but the last one. The more algae on it, the older it probably is!

Some of my encrusting corals (Leptoseris etc) are slightly taking over - any tips for getting a rid of them easy?
Leptoseris is surprisingly potent. It has stringing tentacles out most of the day and night and it’s growing towards my acropora.
I can scrape it off the rock but that’s rather hard work. I was thinking is there a sort of paste, like the stuff that kills Aiptasia that I can apply?
Whats your favorite encrusting Montipora?
Porites astreoides is a species of hermatypic coral in the family Poritidae distributed throughout the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Eastern Atlantic. They are common in all shallow reef environments between 0.2 and 70 m of depth. Colonies can appear in massive or encrusting forms.
Siderastrea siderea is a species of hermatypic coral in the family Siderastreidae distributed throughout the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and Bermuda. They occur in most shallow reef environments between 0-70 m of depth. Colonies can grow over 1 m across, appearing in massive or encrusting forms.
Is there a way to remove the encrusting limit?
I've had this photo for years, this fungus was inside the stump of a dead bottlebrush tree. It has no real cap or anything, just an encrusting body with white borders and burgundy gills that intersect irregularly. Found in Miami-Dade county. Sorry for poisoned potato quality
When I got this it was nearly solid purple. After being dislodged a few times and thrown off the bridge by turbo snails, its finally anchoring in and encrusting on the rock at the base. Once it did that the coloring up started. I am digging the bright green thats starting to show!
