Where do i put this in my tank high or low flow and high or low light please help?

Whatever you do, don't dip the coral. I lost a mini colony cause I dipped it. I have my new frag about 2/3 of the way up the tank in fairly high flow.

Ours is 21" down, or 3" from bottom Medium flow

This is where mine did best. Between two islands, moderate flow and about 21 inches down between two 400 watt Radiums. Too much flow and there was no polyp extension. Too much light and it paled.

 

[MammothReefer]

mine has grown into high flow higher light. It started off medium/medium

 

[ChrisAnator03]

Alright thank you guys cause i got one and I want it to keeps its color and want pe

Mine likes mid to high light and mid flow. If I point a power head at it it will loose tissue. Mine gets PE.

Wow. Yeah just throw it in there and get a pest that kills all your SPS.

 

[westreef]

I dipped it with Revive for half of the time. It survived.

Yeah just throw it in a coral dip and risk losing a 60 dollar coral. I can inspect a coral for a few minutes and have a fairly good idea whether or not it has pests. Dip all the smooth skinned acros you want. I'll pass thanks.

I agree don't dip that coral it's not worth losing it, its an easy coral to see pests on so just inspect it closely

 

[savvybuckeye7]

i was wanting to get this coral, what does pe stand for when you ask if the coral gets pe?

 

[GSMguy]

PE=Polyp Extension

 

[ChrisAnator03]

Alright guys no need to argue about dipping corals so i glued mine down in medium flow around halfway up my tank still no PE. When i turn my lights on from the tank being dark i see PE but after a few mins they all go back inside. ***?

No daytime PE from the hawkins is the norm.....dont worry about it.
