high light high flow

[Musho3210]

what are some lps corals that like high light and high flow, my meaty ones are all in corners and on the substrate, i want to put some stuff under high light and high flow areas of my tank.

Ummmm, Hydnophora....

The sarcophyton (toadstool leather) corals in my tank do well under high lighting and a fairly rigorous current.

a lot of favias will like high flow, galaxia if you don't mind sweepers,

 

[thecichlidpleco]

would Hydnophora do okay undr 216watts of T5?

 

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Yeah...hydnophora does well under strong lighting (I'm assuming you mean that 216W of T5 is strong? Are they HO T5's?)

 

[thecichlidpleco]

not to highjack, but they are high output, the only reaon I ask is becasue I saw one at the lfs for good price and size.

torch frogspawn,hammer, all do well in my high flow high lights tank. I have 3 MH and 2 vhos on a normal 75, no problems, teh frog and hammers are at least 10 years in my tank.

chalices do fairly well under "high flow"...I have a feeling your definition of high flow isn't all that much flow as well. What do you use for flow in that tank?

 

[Jamokie01]

Torches, frogspawns and hammers dont do well in high flow naper, Im guessing what you consider high is more along the lines of medium.

 

[thecichlidpleco]

euphillia does terible in high flow in my tank, however I have seen them near the blast zone of some powerful powerheads and they love it, so I dont know.

If you have some time on your hands and not in a rush to go out and get something you should check this sight: http://www2.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/coralid_search.php

Look up the ones you would like to see in your tank then see if they can be found in tidal zones and exposed flats, that may help your odds and take out some guess work. Plus look up the corals you already have, then take notice to the corals that are growing around them in the pictures for more ideas on diversity. This will also help give you an idea of what can be found within the biotope your attempting to emulate
