What type of lighting do you have? If you have a modern fixture I would probably put the Elegance/Catalaphyllia in the sandbed. FYI Catalaphyllia, in my experience is a sensitive coral, I would list it as difficult long term for most tanks. The Zonathids and Palys look happy where they are. The Anthellia and the Caulerpa can become invasive.

Thank you for the reply i currently have a 24watt Mariglo lighting fixture and the caulaerpa was for a sea horse but changed my Mind and went for designer clowns probably take it back to work

You're welcome! :becky:

Ok, lets start with the light fixture, I googled the fixture, does not appear to be made to grow corals and keep certain inverts alive?

Remove the Caulerpa now or you'll have a big problem removing it later.

The current corals you have now are not going to perish without a lighting upgrade, but if you're serious regarding having a reef tank then you spend the money on lighting, skimmers and RO units.

HTH
