clove poly and acan question with pics

[supernareg]

CLove polyps with green center and orange tips

what kinda flow should they be in? right now they're in indirect medium flow cause i can see them swaying around a little bit... and they're midway on my tank (130watt PC) .....

what kinda flow / lighting do they need?


Acan: what kinda acans are they and they're
about 4 heads.... on the clove polyp rock growing in the middle.... what kinda lighting and flow does that need? i plan to feed it pieces of squid / shrimp whenever i feed my micromussa (which has great growth if i feed)....



is it okay that they are growing near each other? will the clove polyps inhibit the growth of the acans? or will the acans push them away? should i peel them off and glue them to another rock like zoos or will that kill them??

thanks.

nice peice. clove polyps are one of my favorite corals. as far as flow goes. i have some blasted in my sps tank and they are growing great. i just dont have the enjoyment of them looking like palm trees. My prop tank lil flow open great better color. growing well. just lost all of my zenia and my half of my neon orange with green centers. all water parameters perfect. was it the flow i will never know. it just seems if you can aclimate them well they will live for a long time. all of my cloves are under 250 de 14k. some under 175 20k. hmm placement middle to lower bottom of tank. i hope this helps.
