Need help with coral placement

[mustseefish]

I recently bought a few frags, does anyone have any pointers on where I should place them? I have a frilly mushroom, acan, gsp, montipora, Xenia all shown in the picture. I don’t know how they will grow so I’m just not sure if I placed them in the right spots

First and foremost, space coral as some sting others and some dont
frilly mushroom - lower third of tank
acan- lower third of tank
gsp - half tank or below
montipora - Half way in the tank
Xenia - half tank or a little above

All these do best under moderate flow, feed acan mysis shrimp and do not blast with light

I would add PAR ( lights ) and water flow ( tank size / pumps ).

"Tidal Gardens" has a whole series on different Coral care on Youtube.

Probably happens !

Be very careful handling those, handling them with gloves is a lot safer.

Okay good to know. Whats the reason why? Are the toxic at all?

Palys and zoas have a reputation for excreting a nasty paly toxin that is said to be so toxic it could cause hospitalization.

There have been stories, but I don't believe any research has been done, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

mid to lower third on paly and dont fret on toxins. Its often associated with mishandling. I have many zoas and Grandis paly and no issues.

I actually have these brown paly looking coral that randomly grew on my live rock, the inside is starting to turn a green color. What do I do about these?

Nothing to worry about, there should be no concern about poisoning as long as proper precautionary procedures are in place.

What do you think of the placement of my frilly mushroom? I put the frag in between two small rocks at the bottom
