coral placement new tank

[beginner reefer1]

okay so i bought a mushroom coral and a duncan coral yesterday and they are both in temporary spots, but i just have no idea where a good spot for them is, please give me some ideas i would appreciate the help

you can see the two corals on the right they are small, just not to mention that flat area on the left that more white rock is there for a mini zoa garden so it’s off limits, please give me your suggestions i’d love the help.

It’s hard to say without knowing the output of your light. The mushroom will prefer less flow and light than the Duncan. I would say the mushroom would want a par of 50-100, and Duncan’ a bit higher, maybe 75-150. But they are both pretty flexible if acclimated slowly.

I would place the mushroom in an area with gentle flow. Duncan’s can have moderate flow, but don’t directly aim the power head straight at it.

I’d place the mushroom on the flat rock on the bottom right and the Duncan about halfway up the rockwork on either side.

This is what I was going to suggest, haha.

Duncan’s can go anywhere.
I have them on the sand and at the top.

Mushrooms in corners, low flow low light
