Wanting to add a torch..

[PointerReefs]

Hey all!

I am considering adding a torch or I should say I want to add one but am unsure if I can pull it off considering my tank size and other inhabitants.. the location I have in mind is the spot where my leather coral is at on the back right of the tank… I am sure I can give it proper flow and light but worried about aggression and reach of the sweeper tentacles… there is a Trachy maybe 6-8 inches away and some zoas even closer although I’m not so worried about those particular zoas.. other side of the tank has some acans, blastos zoas and soon to have a chalice in the front left corner… (it’s getting kind of packed in here lol)
Any insight would be appreciated! Attached a photo below

And to clarify I’d be replacing the leather with the torch not placing it next to it.

You could put it dead center on top of that rock and see how it does there?

Don’t think it’s too close to the micromussa and acan?

Why does it have to go on the rock? You got plenty of space on the bottom you can get a torch stand and place it on the bottom.

Was just thinking of the farthest place from any less aggressive corals it could kill.. even considered putting it on the sand bed in the back right corner.. I’ve never kept torches so I don’t know how much I need to worry about it trying to sting everything else.. that was my main reasoning..

Warfare IME isn't something I worry a LOT about.

I think you can add a torch almost anywhere here, but on the rock gives it plenty of room IMO.
