How do you plan your coral placement?

That’s a great idea - why green and red montis are so appealing. It’s hard to find orange and blue combos…or many blue corals for that matter.

Oregon tort, love the blue!

By priority:
1. Correct environment (light, flow)
2. Distance from other corals that may attack / coral compatability
3. Tendency to overtake (I.e Zoas would never go on my rockwork on purpose)
4. Color contrast and growth pattern
5. Grow out space

color contrast is so key too. putting contrasting colors next to each other gives way more pleasing aesthetics. like blue next to orange. green next to red etc.
