Hi there! So, I’ve come to the realization that my 6 sexy shrimp in this 15g cube in my bedroom, are quite the pickers. I’m fairly confident they are what caused damage to my hammers in here, and why the zoas weren’t opening up. I moved all of those into my 40b and they are all starting to bounce back. I also previously had a pectinia frag in here that had skeleton exposed, and now is fat and happy in the 40b. So it looks like zoas and some LPS are definite no-goes so far.
What’s left are a bunch of mushrooms, an RFA, a finger leather, skittles bomb cyphastrea, sunset monti, and a forest fire digi colony. All of those are happy with new growth all the time, and all 3 SPS have attached to the rock work. I just fragged the forest fire digi, which is why it’s unhappy. Otherwise, it’s high enough up they don’t really mess with it.
My question is this: should I remove the cyphastrea and sunset monti and put into my 40b, before they get too attached, and just get a few more RFA and mushrooms and let them take over? The PAR for the bottom part of the scape coming towards the front glass is 110-125 and the middle layer is 130-160. Are there any other corals that would look good there and do well in that PAR range? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
