I probably did something stupid, galaxea in nano tank, doable?

I guys, I have bought today from a guy a galaxea frag since price was cheap seemed nice and I did not know anything about it.

I have a 10g nano, stocked like in the photo + one euphylia and 1 favite bought today with the galaxea, where do you advice I place the galaxea? I should return it?

yes it's doable. They do send out some pretty long and potent stingers however so try to give them space with other corals.

I love them and have one put way in a corner but it sends out 12” stingers now

Yep mine get into fights with the frogspawn on a regular basis and it's about a foot away.

Try moving it the area where the flow is blowing it away from other corals. Or perhaps flow that causes a twirling effect hence getting the Galaxeas tentacles to twirl among itself rather than extend outwards.

I think a galaxea in a nano is a bad idea of you own on having more corals in there. If you can give it 8-12" in every direction, have at it

i've found a nice spot far from other corals. It is still small for now so will not be a problem, in future maybe, but for now is all cool

Cool good luck. Just so you know, sweeper length is not in proportion to the size of the frag. A 1"x1" coral can still let loose some 12" AT&T style sweepers.

Positioning the coral where the sweepers get caught in an updraft can be helpful to keep them away from others
