CORAL PLACEMENT

beehave6301 · Dec 13, 2024

I have a 75G vertical tank. I recently bought Pink and Gold Paly Zoa, Green Hairy Mushroom, Chalice. And the posted Picture. I need to understand placement according to how they grow and lighting specs. I will be adding Seahorses. Please give recommendations. I'm ready to do my aquascape.

None of these are SPS so this should be in a different forum.

With that said, the chalice - which one? Probably medium to high, but not super high light. Decent flow.

Zoas/Palys are similar/related but two different corals. Mine prefer low/medium light closer to the sand bed.

Rhodactis will grow almost anywhere - mine prefer medium light, medium flow.

Those Gorgs are likely non-photosynthetic and will require very fine food and manual feeding.

Green hairy mushroom Require similar to the Rhodactis but they can tolerate higher light in my experience.

What is the Difference between SPS, LPS, Soft Corals, and more. What are some of the others? I am new to all of the coral stuff and what to get a better understanding of how it all works.
