[Brocksreef117]

I have all these corals coming in tmr morning and I don’t have space in my sand bed to acclimate them all and my elegance will sting other corals next to it any one have a idea of what I should do and where should I put these corals to acclimate.

Do you have any suggestions where I could put the Monti

Montis are pretty simple and will grow great at anything over 120 par with moderate flow. So somewhere halfway up the rock work or higher.

Thanks for the advice

Maybe you should add some bubble coral and maybe a galaxia with a couple pectinias too? Show that elegance who’s boss.

They would be the ones stinging the elegance.





You can put a green hairy mushroom just about anywhere in your tank. Many mushrooms will also move themselves. I can't tell you how many discos I've had pick themselves up and tumble around the tank until they found a spot they like.

I really wouldn't worry to much about the elegance, their sweepers aren't too bad. I know many who have them pretty close to other corals.

I heard that the hairy shroom will encrust and spread like fire over other corals

nah, corals are pretty good about maintaining distance. You have to kind of layer them though. So keep encrusting or low to the surface corals near the larger ones like euphyllia. You can keep corals pretty close but most give them space for them to grow and fill it in.

I have had a couple coral battles in my tank and there are some that are much stronger than others. You learn it as you go. Might lose a polyp but you learn a lesson. It doesn't happen too much.
