Help picking the right coral

[rja]

I have a large flat rock in the middle of my tank that I originally wanted to be a torch garden but with the SPS right above it, I am finding that the flow and lighting is probably too high. Hence why my torches are on the bottom. Should I try the torches there and see how they like it? Or, should I take some suggestions on a type of coral I can collect that likes the lighting and flow.

I think if your torches are happy where they are I would leave them! Goni might like that spot, or you could do a zoa garden!

Gonis yes! I’ve some in PAR that’s around 280-290, so there’s a good chance they’ll be fine there.
