bubble coral

[tropical hawaii]

I just picked up a beautiful bubble coral from the store today, but I didnt know how high in the aquarium to place it. Can anyone tell me please? And thank you.:strooper:

They like light but not intense light. I would start it out on the bottom and keep it in the bottom 1/3 of the tank. Not direct flow either.

what kind of lights do you have on your setup now? Mine is on the sand in a low flow area, but i have 3 400 watt halides.

yes they like lower light so it does depend on what you have over our tank already, ... also keep space around it so that it can readily expand and not sting anything near it, ...

right know I have 2-250 watt mh's. I put the coral about half way up, is that ok?With medium flow and full light.

 

[skeeter-doc]

it should be fine
