Coral placement

[Leggmantn2015]

Where is a good placement for a ducan coral three heads, one head Frogspawn, and multiple heads acans?

I realize some corals have sweepers so I just want to make sure nothing gets hurt.

I have a bunch of zoanthids and mushrooms frags laying around I don't want to hurt.

Any advise ?

For the frogspawn find a spot with moderate flow and place it there, most important thing with those is to not blast it with flow just make sure it sways fairly often... I've had luck placing duncan corals and acans in similar locations... do leave space for the frogspawn to grow because they can grow quickly and do sent sweepers, duncan's don't, and acans can as well... as for lighting i would acclimate it starting on the sand bed then gradually move it up where i want the corals...

Duncan's frogspawn- find a nice spot down low for them. Acans are best on the sand. Allow 4-6in space around the frogspawn for growth and tentacles.

As said above, but importantly, leave plenty of room between the acans and frogspawn and your zoas and mushrooms.
The acans can expand much farther than you may think and can actually eat zoas and mushrooms.

I place my Acan near the top; I've noticed serous growth it's him. I don't have frogspawn, but I have hammers and they've been doing great the past few months; they like to be tossed around a little, but not much at all. If you think it's to much it is. I don't like Duncan's
