Where to put this Gorgonia?

[pulpfiction]

Total newbie here. I'm trying to figure out where to place corals where they'll be happy and not attack each other. Plus look like a nice arrangement. I have 4 (5) right now. I'm really unsure where to put the gorgonia.

I'm pretty confidant in the rhodactis mushroom and clove polyp placement. I plan to put a recordia florida on the left rocks and hope it takes over them. I'm unsure if it will. I wouldnt want the gorgonia to get attacked by the shrooms. I'm also worried if i put it on the clove polyp rock that it will be taken over/annoyed by clove polyps.

Are either of the gorgonia placements a non worry? Or would moving the nepthea up and maybe putting the gorgonia on the platform under it work out better? I know nepthea can get large and block light and flow.

I don't have plans for more corals right now. I'm not sure what else I would add if I did.

Thoughts appreciated.

A little higher and in the path of water flow. They love and require good water flow and moderate light

I'll put the coral higher upwhere it will be happy. I'm currently acclimating it while decising longterm placement.

Make sure it gets good flow. Gorgs looooove good flow as they benefit greatly from filter feeding and they slough off a coating every couple of weeks that the flow will help remove.

This looks like a photosynthetic variety, so it doesn't neeeeed specific feeding, but it will flourish with it.

Oh yeah, I plan to put it right in high flow. It is a photosynthetic one. I've been feeding everything a bit of reef roids 3x a week and the polyps all extend every day. It's been happy so far. My main concern is longterm placement when things start to go ham growing.
