Hi guy I have a question for experience Utter Chaos paly keepers.I just got couple of UC polyps and my tank is 24" high where is the best place to put them.
Which flow,current they like low,medium or high?
They like low,medium or high light ?
 
Mine are at medium depth and medium flow, under T5 bulbs. They open up really nice and color is beautiful, but they are slow growers for me. I bought it as 3 polyps and I still only have 3 after about 3 months.
 
Water condition is important along with low to medium light I had mines uptop and they shrunk. Now on the sand bed they seem to be getting bigger and more pop under my t5's
 
Slow for me also when fragged seem to regrow quickly but always around 7 polyps just stop growing meanwhile guy I got them from has a huge colony they grow great for him
 
so they like low-medium light and same with flow right.I'm just wondering my tank is 24" high so sand bed will be good idea or it is to low
 
in my tank they grow well in high light but look better in lower light...I got these from Sexy mike when they first came out. and not once have they look stressed, upset, or unhappy....one of my favorite for sure
 
I've kept mine high up and low and both seem to have good growth. I made 2 frags (1 and a 2 polyp) frag and now both have 3 polyps. Frags were cut Feb 28, 2012. They were played in my sand bed at the time. To me, the most important thing is if they like your tank conditions.
 
are they like medium + flow I have to make decision about I can play with the light but the flow is kind between medium and high
 
They are in high light high flow for me .. and went from 3 to over 30 polyps in about 9-10 months.. took forever to start growing though
 
I have mine all over the place. Sand, top, it's not too picky with lighting or flow to be honest.

Currently have over 40. They are pretty fast growers for me especially after fragging. Middle of the tank half way up medium flow T5
