Euphyllia placement near water surface?

[jcdeng]

Hi, just wondering if anyone have their Euphyllia garden up on top of the rocks closer to surface. I want to create a theme where there are swaying action on top of the rock but that would be very close to the lights and LPS don't like too much light. Is it possible? I don't want to put nems in my tank because I am afraid that one day they decide to move and kill everything.

Thanks

You could do this, with high lighting but it will take time, you would have to start by placing the euphyllia at the bottom of the tank and letting them adapt to the light & flow, then once every 6-8 weeks you can move them/remount them up the rock about 4-6 inches, check to make sure they arent too stressed and wait 6-8 more weeks so they fully adapt. keep repeating this process until you get towards the top.
