It's formed a big ball skeleton and now that I put it in sand the bottom mouths are semi covered/covered on the sand bed. Will these die off?

why placing live tissue in sand? glue it on another piece of LR and let it grow around the rock, why kill part of a nice pirece of coral that you cherrish?

Its possible but it should grow around the sand after awhile. All of my acans are on the sand bed and have overgrown their discs and have started to grow on the sand, or whatever else is near them. A safer bet for you since you just moved them to the sand would be to glue it to a piece of rock or mount it on something so the bottom row of polyps aren't underneath the sand.

Like maybe put a straight piece of pvc under it to hold it up off sand a little? Or maybe I'll have someone frag it up a bit. It's pretty big. I'd rather have a small piece on a rock and grow flat on that. Instead of the skeleton ball. Hell I dunno.

Yeah, whatever works for you. Mine, personally have been doing just fine on the sand bed, and they have been there over a year. Even if you have a frag disc or something that would work.

I have acan colonies glued on another piece of rock and another colony on a very short PVC pipe. that way the coral is at the bottom still have a chance to live on and you can see the PVC
