Lighting for red and blue mushrooms, and ricordia

[awestruck]

My 58g. has 4 x 39w. t5s. Where should I place the blue and red shrooms, and the orange ricordia. TIA

Mushrooms (not the ricordea) can generally be put in low to medium light, low to medium flow areas. They can get by on very little light, high flow prevents them from extending as big as they can. If your tank has lots of other corals of different types, put the mushrooms in places where they're not taking up valuable lit space from corals that need it more. Never had an orange ric, so I'm not much help with that, but if I had to guess I'd say medium lighting and medium flow. Edit: PS I personally use mushrooms as "filler" for areas that don't get enough light to support other corals, under rock overhangs, etc.

Great, thanx for the advice!
