Does Frogspawn need to go in the sand?

    I am thinking about picking up a beautiful large frogspawn, one of the places I am thinking about locating it is on a rock about 5" off the sand bed. Live aquarium recommends bottom placement. Would it be ok on the rock? If so, what is the best way to attach it?

    The location in question is the smallish rock on the very left hand side of the tank partially cut off in the pic...

    no it doesn't.

    corals don't care how high they are up, as long as the lighting and flow is right.

    frog spawn is usually jammed into some creavice or hole. unless you want to use alot of epoxy or glue.

    Decided to go on the sand for now until it gets used to the light. It is four polyps and is only about half open in this picture:

    I am really hoping my clowns either take to this or my long polyp toadstool.
