Well got my first coral today. A frogspawn. I'm courious where I should place him? I have metal hailide lights in a 28 nano cube. I mostly keep the lid open so the water dosent get to hot. 84 degrees with it closed. Can I place him higher up in the tank or should I keep him low? Where it is now I'm afraid that it will get knocked over and I don't want to glue it down. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Ya the more I look up the more I agree with you. I think it is happy we're it is, so far!! I will keep it low cause I know those lights are powerful.

I think it has 5 heads on it. I thought it was a steal for 40 bucks. It's about the size of a softball if not a tad bigger. My emerald crab has promptly made a home right underneath it. He blends in to it. I'm gonna try to feed a little tonight. Squirt some food in the current that flows around it. Defiantly happy with the purchase. Now I will wait a while before I introduce anything else.

Well I was right it got knocked over in the night. Thank goodness I placed another rock under it to catch the fall. Think I will move it on to the gravel untill I decide on the final placement.

After trying out two places this is the happy place. It's inbedded in the rock enough that it shouldn't get knocked off in the night. "cross fingers"

This could be a silly question but at night when they all go to sleep, I know the corals suck in!!! Is it normal for just one head to suck in this much but not the rest???
