Newbie question:

First, I know I have some time to wait before adding corals.

i am sketching out the corals i want to place in my tank. All LPS and softies to start. May question is regarding placement on the “columns” on my structure that are pretty vertical. I don’t have a par meter but I was wondering are there corals that grow particularly good on more vertical surfaces?

Do the corals grow preferential up a structure like a plant or vine would? Meaning, should I place them lower on the columns to start?

Does being at a 90 degree angle from the light decrease the par the corals receive?

thanks for the help!
