So I got a green horn coral and it's not getting fuzzy like it was at LFS! Where do I put it! I tried middle of tank and ground! It's been in my tank for 3 days! What am I doing wrong!

High flow high light. I have mine right up top in my tank with my power head facing it.

Also, thats an SPS Coral, your water params need to be in perfect order. And your lighting should be very strong.

As long as he came from an LED tank, if he did not, then you will need to acclimate him to the top. Then again, if he isn't popping out now, you may give it a try at first.

Yeah they like lots of indirect flow and good high light. I have mine at the top of the tank under all LEDs and it looks fantastic.
