Turbinaria (cup/scroll coral) placement

[ReefsandGeeks]

I recently got a 3ish inch peice of Turbinaria from a local reefer for a couple bucks after picking up some other frags and mini starfish. I have it near the sandbed acclimating to light now, but can't find a reliable sorce on a good final placement for it. also finding contradicting information on it being SPS and LPS. either way it seems to be peiceful, so I'd personaly catagorize it more towards SPS.

Anyways, I'm looking for a good spot to put it, but don't know how to attach it (I'd guess superglue it to a smaller peice of rock and putty the small rock to my rockwork) and not certain of what level of light it needs. I have a mixed reef, 40 gallon tall (24") and a 150W LED light.

Any advice or experiances anyone wishes to share with this coral would be apriciated.

Thanks

attached is a pretty recent picture of my tank before i picked up the new coral. I got another birdsnest frag, the cup coral, cactus coral and an orange digi frag. Maybe the bottom left where there's a frag plug with a single zoa on it? I can move the zoa somewhere else and leave that space open for the cup coral.

I have mine high right under a 250w radium and it grew fast. I have another on the sand bed and it hasn't grown much at all

I glued mine to my over flow box starting to encrust a little bit..... high light high flow under 6 bulb t5/led

Thanks for the advice, I will try to find a spot for it higher up in the tank with good flow

Yeah, flow. Lots of it. Mines right in front of a MP40 at full throttle and grows into the flow.
