Moving my trachyphyllia to a higher flow spot as its not fully extended in its low flow spot (yes, I've ruled out all the other causes) would this be too shaded for a trachyphyllia?

Of course! Where else would I put a trachy lol, would it be enough light?Like on the sand?
On a rock, in a PVC ring... Don't know - you haven't indicated what your PAR is at that depth.Of course! Where else would I put a trachy lol, would it be enough light?

Honestly, try to keep it directly out of the sand bed (especially if you have any gobies or other sand disturbers). At some point renting a PAR meter to take measurements around the tank is a worthwhile expensiture.Message received
Coral only for now, though the first fish won't be sandbed dwellers (tank is 9 months if you're wondering)Honestly, try to keep it directly out of the sand bed (especially if you have any gobies or other sand disturbers).

Which is why I put it downstream. Actually, there are two species commonly labeled as "platygyra" one extremely aggressive and one not aggressive. I have both, however the one in the photo is the non aggressive species, which are the true platygyraBe careful with that platygra. I believe they really aggressive coral.
