coral placement

I need to know where in the tank aussie acon lords and brains.I have a 75 with a 14,000k coralife mh. right now i have the acons up highunder med./high flow and the brain is in a pvc tube in the sand on bottom. neither look well. everything else in tank is doing great. so i hope that they are just not happy where they are at. thanks.

 

Did you light acclimate the Acan's? I.e., start them at the bottom and then slowly move them up over a couple of weeks?

Target feed the brain with a turkey baster.

 

You should place the acan on the sandbed for a few days and then slowly move it up to the spot you would like it to be placed. That way it is able to acclimate to the lighting. As for the brain, most people say its best to keep it on the sandbed. Maybe the brain is still acclimating to the tank and the lighting.

 

i put them in their current places when i brought them home about a month ago. should i put the acons lower and raise the brain? my other brain is loving it in the same basic spot.

 

Leave the brain where it is....feed it.

Drop the acans....depending on how much tissue there is, maybe target feed them too.

 

hard to see the acans in second pic.
