    Just got these elegances -and combo rock.

    I'm getting to the almost over stocked on corals point and it's harder to place

    Can you look at surrounding and let me know how I'm doing ? I'm also adding a few extras:)

    It's hard to tell from the pics but looks like the elegance is on a rock. They prefer the sand bed. The tissue is fragile and can be torn by the jagged rocks.
    Tank is looking good though.

    The elegance is on a rock, but its like perched higher up, its not touching any rocks.

    It looks too small to put on the sand bed, wouldnt get buried

    Elegance should be placed in low to moderate flow in the sand with the pointed end down.

    That is a great article Jack linked.

    Since this was on coral placement...would it be okay to place tiny coral frags on the sandbed until they got bigger then secure them on some LR?

    Agreed...EC's typically are better placed with the pointed tip of the skeleton in the sand. Do you know if those EC's came from Indonesia or Australia? The Indo's are VERY touchy to light acclimation. If they are Indo I would highly suggest placing them in indirect light and very slowly acclimating them to more light.
