help with coral selection please

[Liam's tank]

I currently have 4 zoa frags, a GSP growing on the back glass, & a Ricordea mushroom. I'm interested in adding a Toadstool Leather & a Branching Frogspawn. Would the Toadstool get too big for an IM 25-gallon lagoon? Also, placement suggestions for these new additions (if you think they would be successful in my tank) would be greatly appreciated! In my research I believe that the Toadstool should be placed towards the bottom of the tank with moderate flow, I have found all sorts of answers regarding light & flow requirements for the Toadstool. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Toadstool is just fine for your tank. You can always prune it later and if you're lucky it just might drop a baby.

Agree with the above and the frogspawn is fine in that tank also.

Years ago I would frag my colt coral and frogspawn to free up real estate. I’ve done the same with my torches and frogspawn. Recently I just fragged half my sinularia as it got to large. If I don’t sell them dirt cheap or give them away I take them to my lfs for store credit.

What would be the best placement for the frogspawn? Upper, lower? Lightning & flow recommendations?

They are happy with medium light and flow. Medium flow, gently swaying. Medium light above 150-200 par should be fine.
