Which can handle more light?

[MrSkumFrog]

Hello,

I purchased a stylo and a pocillopora frag recently. I have some empty real estate at the top of my tank ~8" from the surface that I would like to fill. Which one do you think would acclimate better to the light intensity?

The tank is a 105g 48x24x21 with hydra leds

Hi mrskumfrog

My experience comes from t5's so i'm not sure what will happen under leds but imho they both can handle some extra light.
If i were to choose only one though,i personally would go with the stylo.In my tank did better when it was placed in good lighted places.

Why don't you place them low in the tank and then move the up?
Just to give them some extra time to adjust

Stylo can handle a lot more light in my experience.

+1 .......pocillopora will survive and thrive with lots of light but will loose almost all color and turn practically white...same with green birds nest
