Coral placement

[ReelKings]

Where would you place a Hollywood chalice, Aussie lord, and Christmas Favia?

None of those corals have particularly high lighting requirements. I can't tell whether that's an AI prime or a Red Sea LED. Either way, I don't think that light, maxed out, will provide too much light for any of those corals. But generally the rule of thumb is to always slowly acclimate corals to new lighting conditions. It's a long story short probably in the lower half of your aquascape.

The only advice I can offer is for the chalice - assuming it's the "hollywood stunner" - they grow rather fast and can shade out corals below.
I have one that I got as a frag 2 years ago and it's now something like 5 inch diameter.

For my hollywood, I put on a plate tile and at the bottom away from every other coral. Those long stingers can cause issues later on. I've seen favia at the sandbed but I put mine on a rock to control some pandora zoas from climbing up a bridge rock so it'll just grow downwards. Acans I put under low light and flow, like below an overhanging rock.

Awesome! I appreciate the help and It’s an AI prime. Yeah, play some the lower half you’re the corner of my Aquascape on the backside.

That’s exactly what I did for the Hollywood. The Favia I put on the bed. I’m gonna place it near the zoas a little later as it gets a little adjusted to the tank. and that’s exactly what I was thinking for the aussie to place it right under the bed. The photo was from a few moments ago sanded a little cleaner now and tank os a little clearer
