IM 15 gallon - Coral Placement

[Tocspaw]

I’m playing with coral placement for a few pieces and finding the small footprint of the IM 15 challenging.

I want to add a hammer but am not sure where to put it without risking stings to other corals. I also was considering moving the birdsnest in the bottom right up onto the rock but I read they are sensitive to being moved. I also read they need a fair amount of light hence the move off the sand. I don’t have a PAR meter - running a Kessil A160we for lighting.

Any suggestions on where I should put the hammer and birdsnest in the current setup? I’m open to moving the leather and/or candy cane as needed. Thanks.

I would put the BirdsNest up high, move the Candy Cane to the other side and put the Euphyllia in the spot where the Candy Cane was.
I see a bigger tank in your future.
That's a lovely leather.

I agree with this.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve moved the birdsnest up off the sand and will continue to move it slowly up the rock work until it finds a happy place towards the top.
