Hey I just can't seem to make these guys happy where should I place them?
My lighting is as follows
3-250w phoenix 14k de 2-6' 454 vho's and 2-6' super actinic vho's
Lots of flow in most of my tank
Please help!
 
Please post what C.A.R means please.This is needed for some to help you.

Thanks
 
Well,alot of us do,i know I do,but some dont,I mean its kinda hard with the thousands of coral names out there.
 
1)Lower flwo is what they like,these guys are not SPS corals.

2)Keep them toward the bottom,Zoas and Palys are a lower light loving coral,and these dont need to be blasted with light.

Try them at the bottom in lower flow and see how they do.

Thanks
 
They are open they are just sad and small not big like they were when I received them they were for about two weeks then they started shrinking and been holding their size at about 1/4" little less than they were about 3/8" or so when I got them maybe a little bigger
 
Mine do the same thing no matter where I put them they're not happy ive tried low light, med light, high light, high flow, low flow, no flow and no matter what they are the size of a eraser head on a number 2 pencil. I have 3x175 MH's and a 6 ft 120 as well
 
They are in a place that is lightly shaded by the brace on my tank and I'd say flow is sheltered moderate, random current I have some devils armour Palys above them same flow same intensity of lighting and they are doing great minus the little bit of algae on the frag
I use to grow beautiful zoas when I ran all vho's hmmm
