Need Help With Coral Placement

[Jose408]

Any suggestions on coral placement ? Also need help with identifying corals again ... I have a hard time remembering the names ... forgive me I’m just 3 months into the hobby I’m still learning everyday ... thanks community also if possible can you let me know if coral look happy or stressed ?

Hi! I would put all your frags on the rocks. I see no coral at the moment that would prefer to be on the sand.

It’s very hard to tell with the blue lights but I’ll give it a try:
Pic 1: left top/ Euphyllia , middle/Green montipora Capricornis?, Middle bottom/ Caulastrea (candy cane coral)
Pic 2 and 3: Too hard to even guess
Pic 4: left and middle is some kind of chalice or echinopora (likes to encrust rocks)

Hi thank u for replying , sorry for the bad pictures it’s the light that’s blue and don’t know how to use filters to make it less blue... But I will put them on the rocks ... do u suggest glueing them to the rocks or just setting them ? I’ve set them before without glue and next day I’ll wake up and one would be tumbled upside down , do u think it’s my rock structure ?

Yeah glue the one which is falling over until it has attached itself to the rock. I do both. I try to do it without glue but if they fall it can damage your coral so glue is the way to go then.
