Where do you guys find your tenuis do best? How much light? How much flow?

I have WD that is going great, but I have another tenuis that just isn’t doing anything and it is actually being taken over by coralline from the base. No STN or anything, just very slowly, coralline creeping up the bottom of the frag. It’s not far from my WD and has create PE.

Should I move it? Re-mount it on its side so it can encrust? It’s my Star Killer from @coralreeftank. I’ve had it for about 8 months and nothing.

Right after I got it back in August:

Here’s today (sorry for the phone pic, but you’ll get the idea)

I would clip it if the coraline is encrusting up the coral. Then glue it to a fresh frag plug so it doesn’t have to compete with it.

When you do new frag do we place corals to a lower right area or leave it in the same zone where the original colony was.

I am wondering if new frags need less light or same light or higher light then mother colony

I ask this because I see people put frag platforms to top of the DT guessing new frags need more light ? Or it is just for easy access etc?

Ps: Author sorry jumped in your topic

Thanks
