    It's very hard to get one that's healthy to begin with.

    well i would think it would find a home close to the substrate which would be a bonus for me wont be stinging your corals, this is just what i have read in the last 10 minutes though :D just thought i would try offer some help

    from what ive read its a lighting thing if they have strong halide light they will tend to head to the bottom between the substrate and the rock but with other lightting they will move upward towards the light also close to good flow ... (from what i have read keep in mind) i once had a magnifica nem that didnt loook that big i put it in my 4 foot tank 2 days later it had climbed right up to the water level and took up half the tank lol it was enourmous and stung the hell out me when i took it back to the lfs lol im tryin to find the photos
