Proper placement of Montipora Danae??

[cwegescheide]

Hi there. Well I got a new coral from Dr. Mac today... I got the Blue Moon Monti and a nice neon green table acro. My question is where is the best place to put the Monti? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

FWIW I have a 90 gallon standard dimension tank with 2 x 250W Pheonix 14K HQI bulbs.

Thanks!!

Chris

I have my two Danae's in mid to high in tank. I have 2 250W HQIs and 2 actinics 96 watts each. I would keep on eye on it and if the polyps are not extending and it doesn't look like its doing good, then play around with the placement until you find a spot that its happy at. i have mine under medium flow.

Do you have any pics of the monti yet? I really like them!

Hey thanks SPSFriend. I don't have any pics yet but I will get some soon. Its a pretty big frag about 3" x 3" Its a little pale right now, its been in the tank about 3 days now. I'm hoping it will get to its natual color soon.

I've got mine mid to lower in the tank somewhat sheltered from direct light from the 250 hqi's.

Yeah its the sortof chocolate colored monti with the neon green polyps. Its gonna be awesome once it grows out and colors up a little bit...
