Hey Everyone!
After coming back from Reef a Palooza I came back with some nice pieces. They have all been doing great and some have even grown a little (my birds nest LOL). Anyways, despite all the research I have done, I absolutely can't decide where to put any of my corals. I am just so indecisive. Here is what I bought:
1. Neon Green Acropora Sarmentosa
2. Neon Green Birdsnest
3. Green Birdsnest (I think? - It's Green and Purple - I definitely knows its a birds nest just don't know what type)
4. Green Slimer Acro
5. Red Montipora Capricornis
6. Bubble Coral
7. Flower Pot / Gonipora (Can this be placed next to my other Goni? - I just moved it near my other one today and I haven't seen it come out yet so I am not to sure - My goby kept burying it)
8. Trumpet Coral

Here is a picture of my tank with just a few corals from 5 months ago & a pic of my acro because I love it. Tell me where you think some good places would be for these corals, as I absolutely hate placing corals. (Least favorite part of the hobby for me - besides watching fish and corals die)

Thank you SO much!

Anyways, despite all the research I have done, I absolutely can't decide where to put any of my corals. I am just so indecisive. Here is what I bought:
1. Neon Green Acropora Sarmentosa
High in the tank with high flow but not direct. This one loves intense lighting and high flow.
2. Neon Green Birdsnest
Mid to higher level, mod to higher flow.
3. Green Birdsnest (I think? - It's Green and Purple - I definitely knows its a birds nest just don't know what type)
Same as above.
4. Green Slimer Acro
Same as Sarmentosa.
5. Red Montipora Capricornis
Mid level with mod to higher flow.
6. Bubble Coral
Lower levels, with mod flow to lower.
7. Flower Pot / Gonipora (Can this be placed next to my other Goni? - I just moved it near my other one today and I haven't seen it come out yet so I am not to sure - My goby kept burying it)
Sand bed or lower level, mod flow, mod lighting.
8. Trumpet Coral
Mid to lower level, mod flow and lighting.

Everything should be acclimated to the light before placement, lower in the tank. Provide generous placement, give them a lot of room to grow.
Remove Acropora from plugs. jm2c. :-)
 
I leave plenty of room between them and place them so my tank looks nice. Just be sure to look up lighting and flow requirements to figure out best place for them. Here's mine, nothing fancy but getting there
