I havnt had a scolymia yet in my tank since Ive had my new lighting system so I wanted some good input! I have a 90w exotic sun LED system and wanted to know if I were to get one, where the best placement would be. Thanks
 
i have a mini scolymia cubensis its on the bottom attached almost vertically but it does get a fair amount of light 72w bridgelux led light system. so my guess would be bottom where it does get light but not the intense light form the top
 
Alright thats what I was thinking. When I first started I had a halide and got one and it got fried :( Im thinking about getting one now but wanted to make sure that didnt happen again lol
 
Mines right in the middle of my tank on the bottom. Under 2 Apollo reef dim units. I've had no problem even when was under one in a 40b. Just gotta acclimate them to the lighting, to much to fast yes will burn them out.
