Devil's Hand Leather Coral Question

[TrishK]

I have a rather large one coming on Thursday. Do I need to put him on the bottom for a few days or should I just go ahead and put him mid level in my tank?

Always good to acclimate to the light. You can also turn your lights down and gradually increase to normal over a few days.

What lighting type, intensity and distance from fixture?

 

[TrishK]

3 Kessils a360WE they slowly ramp up to 75% intensity and back down starting at 9am-8pm. Mid tank would be about 18” under the lights. It’s a 180 6’x 24”x24”

Honestly I don't think they care that much. Mine is currently sitting at 300ish par under LED used to be ~180. I had to move a rock and tore the whole thing off by accident. Couple of days it was looking better than ever. Within a week a couple pieces that remained on the rock started sprouting new polyps.

Okay, that's good to hear! Thanks
