#coralplacement

Bought this beautiful frogspawn with three heads a couple of weeks ago and seems to be doing well. The thing is, I can’t figure out where to place it or even where to expect it to grow from? It looks like old bits of the skeleton are what these heads are attached to. Do I keep that or trim it...

A couple days ago I bought some new frags for my nano, and I woke up this morning I woke up to my frogspawn in the sand. I’m realizing the spots where I put that and the hammer don’t hold the plugs very well, but they’re my only options for a low spot in the tank. Is it okay long term to put a...

Looking to get opinions on best placement for these 2 gsp frags. The tank is about 4 months only and only has 3 snails and 2 clowns. I love the way the gsp looks when it’s full but I’m struggling with the most placement at the moment. I think the rock all the way to the right I want to reserve...

Have the following inhabitants. Any suggestions on where I should place or move corals? Candy cane coral Zoanthids Kenya tree leathers Clove polyps Micromussa Duncan coral Hammer coral Frogspawn coral

Hi All! I’m fairly new to the reef/fish hobby thanks to fostering my daughter’s two clown fish. I have a 32.5G Fluval Flex saltwater tank and have just started adding corals. The Hammer was placed in one of the pre-drilled holes on my live rock, but I’m afraid it might be the wrong spot for...

I just brought home my first corals… went with pulsing Xenia and GSP… but I’m having a hard time figuring out where flow is low enough in my tank that would be good for the Xenia and where a good place to glue the gsp would be… any input is appreciated (:

I've had this La Laker scroll coral for a couple weeks, decided to place it here with lots of flow and lighting. It seems happy since its polyps are always out (unless I turn the pumps off for feeding). I was most focused on these features, but I see now a lack of contact with rock, as well as...

Hello I was looking into getting an ORA Ponape Birdsnest coral. I keep seeing like for instance on TSA website. Medium flow/ medium light. What par is considered medium?

Is there anyone here that is familiar with a really good aquarium service in the Gloucester Virginia area? ...or Hampton Roads that won't charge a "king's ransom" for travel? I need some expert advice as far as setting up some frags in the proper places and also making sure that I am dosing...

I just received this beautiful chalice from a guy on eBay. It was labeled as an "Easter Bunny" chalice. Of course there are all made up names for these things so I didn't expect to find much information on this particular variety ( which I didn't, LOL) My question is has anyone seen anything...

Coral in a yellow box I'd like to keep where they are at (except the Psammocora, I think the torch would look and do well there), everything in red is new and need some opinions/advice on where to place them. I've added some pictures on the tank left, right, and top view as well. For now I can't...

I have a 75 gallon mixed reef tank and as much as I try to remember the many corals I have in my tank, I just can’t remember them all so when it comes to researching, I get lost. I’ll post pics of my full tank and the. Individual pics of my coral and their subsequent placement. All help is...

I am new-ish to the community, and recently got some orange Ricordeas. I popped them off of the frag plug, and one of the mushrooms somehow made it’s way to the underside of the rock frag. I glued it to a spot in the hopes that it can find its way toward the light, but not sure if the rock is...

So I have my hammers and candy cane that I feel aren’t in the best spots based on the light and flow in those areas. I wondered where the best placement would be. I attached some pictures of my aquarium and scape.

Can cabbage coral be kept on the substrate? Will the tissue be irritated? I rarely see any sand covering it and it seems happy but for the bottom half touching the sand. It never seems to as fully extend. Should I prop the rock it’s on up off the sand?

Ok this is the second time I am making this thread. This time I have better pictures and actually made it a question thread instead of a discussion thread. My toadstool has been growing rapidly and it is starting to touch the candy canes. I know that candy canes can be aggressive and I'd rather...

Hello good people of Reef2Reef. I am new to reefing and have had this tank since October 2021. It's a 40gal AIO by innovative marine. All of the corals in it were added last Christmas and have been thriving so far. That being said, my toadstool is getting pretty big and is getting a little close...

Hello fellow reefers, I upgraded my fluval 13.5 to a SCA 50g earlier last year. Everything is doing great, all my coral seem happy, and haven't lost any fish. But I do have some general questions and would like to hear your opinions on them. Current coral stock: Rock Flower nem, GSP, Xenia...
