you can always upgrade lights later. But that coral is a tubastrea correct? A Sun coral?
If you put food near it the food should blow around quite a bit. Its a tricky coral. You'll want to feed it directly. You'll wast to get some more flow in the tank soon too

But my question is will it hurt him to put him higher in the tank (closer to those lights) or not? If not, I have some decent flow there.

So by feed it direct do you mean hit it with a blast of frozen from the turkey Baster or is there more? Sorry for the questions guys just new and want to get it right.
