Hey everyone, I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on my coral placement in the attached photo. The tank is a 55g. The powerhead on the right is an 800gph and on the right is a 565gph and 480gph. The water jets in the rear cycle about 150gph. I run a Joyhill LED strip with 3 Blue LED strips and 2 movable LED lamps in the rear.

I would really appreciate any feedback you may have on how I have my corals placed. I have been moving them around here and there seeing what works best and also toying with my flow placement to see what works best.

Thanks!

The only thoughts I have are as your SPS fill out are they going to shadow what’s on the rocks below. It’s hard to see depth in pictures so these corals may be sticking out more and the fine. The only other thing are the BTA. You can put them there but be prepared for them to move where they want

Encrusting montis can really spread once they get going. I personnally try to avoid placing on my main rock structure and instead put them on their own separate rock.
Hollywood stunners also grow very fast and have long sweepers. The location you have it at may cause problems between it and the war coral in the future

Thanks for the tips. The War Coral is loose on its own structure so I can move it easily.
