I just got a Welso and Lobo form Aqua SD. Anyone has se tips for keepign those. I have a pair of orange spot gobies play around the sand bed. Are those brain coral could be bother from gobies or not. I have a Scoly and it seem doesn't like any invert bother around it.
 
Place them in a spot where they can be exposed to lights (preferably sand bed) and once acclimatized they should be fine. I hardly spot feed except when I feed pellets (fish) that gets blown and toss around and usually some pellets will land on top of it
 
Are they ating other LPS such as Acan or Chalice?? I have nitrate quite low (1.5-2-5). Are they fine with those parameter? Are they refer direct light. I know most of scoly don't like direct light
 
I’ve placed them in the sand bed at first. They were doing OK.m, after 3 months or so I moved them and placed them on a rock with some indirect flow, BOOM they grew and once I started feeding they grew twice in size. I have a goby as well and yeah they don’t like it when irritated.

With that said make sure there is enough space for them to expand and contract and not braze their tissue agains the rock. See pic attached. They are placed on a rock close to the front on the tank and as low as possible just off of the sand bed... Hope this helps

Thanks for your respone. It is definitely a awesome tip for me to keep those brain coral. My pair of gobies kind of hyper and they wave up my sand bed all the time. I always use the siphone to blow my coral everyday.
