Good morning,

I recently bought a couple of frags from my LFS. They've been in my tank for 2 days now, but I wanted to post a picture and see if anyone has feedback on what they are, and if my placement is okay.

I'm also looking for feedback regarding growout placement to make sure I don't limit my future options too much.

Pictures attached!

Thanks!

I run SBReeflights 16" basic about 12" from the top of the water in a Biocube 32Gallon

80% blue
45% white

12 hours of lights on

I would keep the Montipora and Chalice low in the tank initially for a week or so. I would keep the Acropora in the low as well for a couple days.

The Chalice would be the purple base with the green 'mouths'?

That one i've had for a few months now, it's made its way up to where it is now, I just didn't know what it was =]

The Monti would be the coral on the 'frag disk'? [pictures 3 & 6?]

The acro would be the coral in the 4th and 5th pictures?

The acro is in the space with the top circle on the last picture [put it there because I was thinking it needed high light]
The Monti is in the space of the left circle [behind the trumpet and under the acro]

Thanks for the help!


Also added an acan to the sandbed, not sure if I should leave it there or move it up on the lower rocks (can it handle the higher light?)
