Scolymia placement

[rayn]

I understand low light and low to moderate flow

I am searching and trying to find out substrate. Is bare bottom okay or do they need a sand bed?

they do not need a sand bed I have some sand bed and on rocks right above the sand so sand is not a must have

Thanks. I ended up adding a shallow sand bed in the tank. I was BB, just didn't like the looks so much.

I added the Scoly after about 1.5 hour acclimation and it seems okay. Kinda in the sand bed, up next to a rock.

That looks like Acanthophyllia/Donut/Meat Coral.

Correct. Regardless they do not require a sand bed... really no corals do.

That's a nice looking piece :thumb:

Well dang it! I was told donut coral and searched. Thought I saw scoly somewhere, but further searching does so acanthophyllia.

No matter, I am happy with it.
stunreefer, best sig I have seen. Make them thrive!
