Help with coral selection for flat rock Close to top

[thecouch]

After I finish a reno I will set up a new tank moving my fish and coral from my pico and nano. The tank I'm getting is a aqua one 36x11x11 inches (90x28x28cm). I'm setting this tank up as I won a light from aqua one in a instagram competition. It's not the most powerful light but should be OK for what I'm looking for. I will have jebao sw2 wavemaker on the left and hang on skimmer/filter on the right

I got 4kgs of marco rock and had 1kg of rock left over and built the aquascape in pics. I liked the way it looked after I finished but not sure what to put on the top of the highest rock where its flat. Its probably to high to build more levels on top for the low tank.

My stock in over tanks are 2 clowns,anemone, azure damsel, peppermint shrimp, hermit crab and a few snails who are doing a freta job of keeping the tanka pretty clean. Corals I have toadstill leather, 3 Duncans, torch, 2 small hammer, 3 new small acans

Where should I place these corals. Any suggestion what would be best for the flat rocks at the top. I don't think my light will be powerful enough for a most sps

Rock flower anemones?

This is good timing. On Australia forums and groups I'm on people have been complaining that's the ones on offer in Australia are pretty plain as can't import them from carribean. A breader/diver came on to advise he had would be sending some to place I buy from online. They had some great colours. Some comments said they can get some nice ones from North West Australia and will be starting to get more soon as they hadn't been trying till recently as it seems they weren't popular.

If light isn’t that powerful I vote hammers frog/octospawns for that spot.

Something to give that area some movement.

If you have time, I would get the nem in there first and see if it wants to move, if it does, let it move to its spot and give the corals ample room around it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm about to start cycle of my rocks in a tub to speed it up a little . Will be transferring media filter to new filter to. Was thinking of picking a spot and sticking some small rocks down to make a sort of bowl for the anemone foot but that didn't work last time and he is on almost flat vertical rock at back of tank

They will do what they want! Best to let them make up their mind before placing coral as they can actually move surprisingly fast when they want to, wouldn't want to see any corals harmed.

I love Euphyllia corals. I find with my little tanks now with not so great lights they have been doing the best. Probably because the wavemaker has been making great water movement

Euphy is awesome, I love it too.

Yeah I was lucky when it moved 3 times in the tank its in now it was probably the furthest spots from any corals so didn't have to move anything

Zoas, i feel if you grow out zoas on the flat rocks it will look very appealing. It will add a ton of color with with little care
