Can anyone tell me what coral this is ? Where to put it up high or low what kind of lighting bright or not so much ? Where it would be happiest in heavy water flow light water flow or no water flow ? Does it go on the sand or middle tank or up high in tank . In light it has pink stalks and green bumps in blue light it has yellow bumps with 3 stalks

That looks awefully close too. And more of the color OPs has! Almost teal.
Yeah, I think it could go either way. Hard to tell from the pics and also until the colony grows out a bit more. Either way, I agree that the placement should be just fine where it's at.

Thank you it looks like the second picture purple body and 3 stalks that turn yellow in the blue light I’ve only had him for 2 days so it’s pollups haven’t opened or anything.The first day I had around mid level and he looked a little shrunken this morning so I put him on his own rock in the sand

I bought him at Petco i usually don’t buy corals at Petco but this looked really Nice in the blue light.He’s got purple stalks 3 of them with light green bulbs .In the blue light the green bulbs turn yellow,I’ll post a few more pics .Is anyone selling cheaper corals 5$-20$ corals.My tank crashed a year ago and I only have 2 corals.I want to fill up my reef again? I’m also looking for an overflow for a 90 gallon ,and possibly a protein skimmer. My tank looks a little dirty because I used Dr Tim’s waste away and it made my tank cloudy

Really sorry to hear about your tank. Check out the sellers' forum here. There's a great variety of stuff to sift through. You may find what you're looking for at a good price.
