It’s a plate coral. Typically placed on the sand bed. Make sure nothing is around it. When I had mine (dead now) I placed it in low light and med flow. That said when you place this on your sand bed, you should achieve the requirements it needs, depending on how you have your flow.

Also move it a little away from your Duncan!!!

Got ya. How much further away from others.
And noobie question how can u tell if its doing ok?

No set rule. I say keep a distance cos if they get stung they inflate and they can sting

When did you add this to your tank, how old is your tank. At this point it’s still to settle down. Here is how it should look, it should have some tentacles open up. Also depends on exactly what kind it is. I’m not a expert, but it’s fungia... long or short tentacles is what I don’t know.

But for now move it a few more inches and away from your glass...

Great info. Thank u so much. My tank is a year old in a month. I am taking it very slow. Only few months ago i have started to add livestock to it. I have fought cyano and ugly phase already. All gone now. You can see it in this thread. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/greetings-from-croatia.341772/
