Hello fellow reefers! I have just very excitedly (RIP my wallet) made an online order for some corals that were on sale. I was wondering if I could get some assistance with placement. I bought a Fascination Favia, Bejeweled favia, yellow sub favia (excitement!!) and a meteor show cyphastrea. I realise all the favias like moderately low flow and light but was wondering if i can place some a bit higher on my rocks to conserve space on the sand bed. My main concern is that there are different types of favias and I already have two favias on rocks in the sand bed and don’t want them to fight. Also, if I put the cyphastrea next to a red gorgonian would this be ok? I have heard this particular cyphastrea can be a bit aggressive but wondering if that was because of its growth rate? Or, on the other hand, if the gorgonian would hurt the cyphastrea. I have included a picture of my tank if this helps at all. Any suggestions are welcome, including moving some rocks around. Thanks in advance for the help!

Placement is honestly up to you based on your lighting variables.

Regarding the cyph yes it grows fast and will sting.
