Chili should be upside down??

[Palting]

Hello, gurus. I came across a thread where it was stated that Chili should be mounted upside down? Anyway, I have a red Chili (Alcyonium spp.) and a Silk (Scleronephthya spp). I have had them both foor several months now. The red Chili seems to be doing well, the silk not as well. Both are in a shade with moderate flow, but upright on the substrate. I do have some overhangs that I can glue them upside down to, IF that would be better. I was hoping the experts on non-photosynthetic coral can give me the right thing to do. Here are some pics. THANKS!!

I hang my chili upside down but it still tries to upright itself when it extends. It might be just trying to get the best flow. I think both of those corals would benefit from higher flow.

Higher flow. Got it. Thanks! Upside down or right side up, no difference?

Mine is glued into a rock in a horizontal position. Originally it was upright. Didn't make a difference. What did make a difference was shading it and moving the water.

Ok, moving them both to a higher flow area. May have to move some things to get the high flow and shade together. Thanks, Gary.
