so i have a question i havnt been able to find the answer to. i have a trumpet coral and i ended up placing him in between two legdes he gets plenty of light but one head is facing sorta under one of the ledges would this be a problem in the future or would it like go towards the light.

What type of lighting and where in the tank did you place the coral? Bottom. Mid, or High?

 

[ngarcia11892]

i have a 250 metal halide and mid, about im just worried about the rock getting in the way of its growth

Do you have a picture?

 

[ngarcia11892]

i can take one just a moment

 

[ngarcia11892]

thats it on the right side you can see its going alittle under the rock

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Oh yea that will be fine. But at this point I might worry about the light being too much. What light was it under before your tank?

 

[ngarcia11892]

metal halides with actinic supplement but im not entirly huge how strong id have to ask some one at the lfs

Is the flesh looking fluffy like it should?

 

[ngarcia11892]

ya it was before i moved it but yesterday it looked alittle deflated but today was alittle better

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Might want to move it down and take it up slowly so it doesn't burn and it can be acclimated.

 

[ngarcia11892]

oh i had it on the sand before for atleast a month then moved it to its location about 1/4 of the way up the tank would that be too fast

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Oh no that should be fine and I think it will be ok with that little bit of shading.
