What kind of corals do you have over overhangs

[Alazo1]

I have a torch that is under a monti cap that is starting to shade. I will have to make a decision where I want it at because it will end up shading most a portion on the bottom.

I have two blastos under mine. I will be fragging it back this week along with a frogspawn and birdsnest.

Not under a monti cap, but I got a moseleya this weekend under a semi-overhanging rockwork

@kevgib67 should clarify that's its still getting some light.

Though still semi-shaded, this should be fine for a moseleya right? Getting slightly less light than my Paragoniastrea

I’m no expert, never had one but I believe indirect light is fine. But you might want to double check with someone with experience. Gorgeous piece by the way.

Thanks been looking for a moseleya for ~4 months, glad to finally have one! @encrustingacro is the lighting fine? Anyway my understanding is that (most) LPS are extremely hard to light-starve, though I don't want to risk this piece. By the way, you should see it at night!

Not all LPS are low-light corals; it depends on where they are collected. I would say Moseleya is more of a medium-light coral; I have seen a few of them in intertidal habitats in Western Australia.

Is it good where it is? Getting similar light to my trachy, turbinaria and wilsoni

Thanks for the responses.
Does anyone keep gonis and chalices in half shaded areas?

If it's happy, then it should be.
