Bubble coral placement assistance

[wolfenstein87]

I'm sure this forum gets this kind of question a lot, but no two tanks are the same. Here are a couple of videos of the water flow and our new bubble coral. It seemed to be alright the first night, but something knocked it over and it hasn't opened up since we stabilized it. I have read that they tend to like moderate to low flow, but I have read all over that there are people that have theirs in fairly strong flow and are doing great. I plan on leaving it alone unless I see it get worse, then I'll move it to an almost dead spot that is close to my Fox Coral. Attached is a picture of the whole tank. Thanks in advance.

The photo is upside down so it's difficult to tell, but your plan to leave it where it is and observe it carefully sounds good to me. I had one that did very well on the sand, but it got too big for my tank and I had to sell it. If it continues to open up daily and feeds well (once a week or so), then leave it where it is.

Not sure why that picture uploaded upside down, thats annoying...

And I knew that as soon as I posted something on here it would make me look like an *** by coming out of its skeleton.

Thanks anyway.

I think the positin where you placed the coral is OK, the issue is to be carefull with alkalinity and Calcium.
