Had spawning after feeding! Hard to see in picture but several raised up and cupped.

I'm seriously trying to till my 120 with rock nems because your tank is so cool. My LFS gave me a deal on 8 of them. Many are doing well. But some disappeared. I suspect they're still in there somewhere, but they've moved to where I can't see them.

Any hints on placement and getting them to come out? How much light do they like relative to corals? How about flow? Any other factors?

I love the little tank of rock flowers. So pretty. I love the sexy shrimp too. I have had that combination, but in the 210g it is not easy to appreciate as in a smaller tank. I may move mine to my 6g. I only have 8 currently, so maybe I can get some babies.

I have noticed the amount of light they like seems pretty high to me, I had many in 300 PAR, if too much they just move vertically but I was surprised how much some seem to like. They don’t seem to like too much flow, enough to ruffle them seems like makes them unhappy. They do like, and I think need, to be spot fed.
