Coral placement??

So I just ordered a good amount of corals and I was wondering where you guys think I should put these

1 elegance
1 frogspawn
1 acro
1 favia
1 Xenia
1 toadstool
1 zoa

I can't put all of them on my substrate so which can o on rocks? I have zoas so I know what they need but I'm definitely putting my elegance on the substrate as a centerpiece

 

I would take the xenia back. Mine died, melted and screwed my tank up big time. Parameters going nuts atm.

As for the others, dont have any of them, except the toady stool, which I think goes best at the bottom, with med flow.

 

Elegance corals like to be in the sand.
Frogspawns are normally lower in the tank.
Acros like higher light. What lighting do you have? That'll help me figure out placement.
Favias like lower light so you should probably want it near the bottom of the tank.
Xenias grow just about anywhere lol but they don't want too much light.
Toadstools like moderate lighting.
Zoas are pretty adaptable to any lighting but if you want to put it higher in the tank, you'll want to slowly let them get used to the light by slowly moving them up the tank. This goes for the some of the other corals as well.

Ok why is everyone hating on Xenia? I love those things. I have a 4 bulb t5 atm but my rock work lets me place the acro high up.

 

The fixture should do great. Xenia are hit and miss in systems, when they hit they can take them over when the miss you can have param issues as mentioned. People who have multiple tanks can keep them in tank but not another even though they use the same equipment, lighting and keep the same parameters.

 

My xenia doubled in size an split itself after 1 month in my tank, it looks amazing... pulses all the time, I have it midtank on a rock.

 

I ALMOST agree with Dingo. I would put the xenia in my buddies tank just to ruin his life.
