How to place acan coral?

OpenOcean33 · May 24, 2018

I bought a small acan coral colony from my LFS. I usually buy frags so I'm not sure how to place this coral. The back side is a straight cut and feels "boxed off" flat. Do i just putty it to another rock and it will some how encrust? it seems like a large gap to cover or can I lay it in the sand bed as is and it will grow? Sorry for bad photo quality. Also you can not see the sharp edge back on this photo.

WHAT’S USUALLY THE FIRST CLUE THAT SOMETHING IS OFF IN YOUR REEF?

A fish’s behavior or appetite changes

A coral looks different or stops opening normally

Water clarity or surface appearance changes

Equipment sounds or flow seem different

A test result catches my attention

Algae or other growth starts changing

I usually notice when the problem is already obvious

It depends on what’s going on
