So after coming back to my tank after an extended time away from home, I had lost two corals (Montipora) and my Duncan looks like it may be loosing one head (I saw a little piece of flesh floating around the tank) and my anemone split and a little to close to my frog spawn for my liking and then the diatom outbreak at the bottom. So I want to move the frogspawn around but looking at the tank I'm not sure where he would look good as looking at the tank im not sure im happy with any coral placement any suggestions or where I could move all the corals, also big water change tonight and some Coraline algae scrubbing off the glass. Just looking for some advice and thoughts. Tank is one year old, THANKS

Looks good to me aesthetically in all honesty, but yes I would also tend to worry with the Nem that close to the Frogspawn
corals will often tell you where they want to be and experimentation in terms of placement is something most of us have done a lot
(Nem's certainly do and will often move themselves where they want to be)

I might be tempted to try the frogspawn in the area where that small leather toadstool coral is on the image and move that Toady down to where the frogspawn was (its smaller so wont be as close to the Nem and you could move it slightly further right of where the frogspawn was placed )

Thanks! I was think the same thing with the switch and I did a water change tonight move the toadstool to where the purple torch was, the torch above the zoas because it looked like it may have been to shaded for the back of him then tommorow I'm goi g to move the frogspawn to where the toadstool is. I appreciate the advice. So much to coral placement with trial and error.
