I’m not sure what corals to place in the circled section (see image)

I am using ai hydra 32hd lighting.

I currently have a mix of soft and lps.

Hmm, what are you looking for? Do you have a list of the next corals you would want? Or thinking about?

No really, this is what I currently have:
  • Kenya tree
  • Pulsing Xenia
  • Galaxea
  • Hammerhead
  • Candy cane
  • Toad stool
  • Green star polyps
  • Rhodactis Mushroom
  • Torch

    I’d just like to fill that section with something.

Depending on age of the tank . Stability , and parameters
perhaps it’s time to try a easier sps such as a plating montipora

That spot is smack in the middle and higher up. This should be reserved for that special coral you want that loves light. A real show stopper. The torch is the only one that stands out to me.

You need to rent a par meter to know for sure but that would be your highest intensity for sure. I would get another light or you wont be able to put coral on the sides

I’m sure having a 32hd over the tank and the place questioned is dead centre and the highest point . I don’t think lighting would be a issue .
but to know the actual value would be helpful
