    I would just leave them on, they will grow over them in time. As far as placement, what are they?

    We need the name of the corals, tank depth, and lighting to determine where they should be placed in the tank

    hmm, I'll look for the receipt since I forgot the name of them lol (not so good with Latin anymore)
    As for the depth and lighting, it's just a "stock" Red Sea Max 250, I'll get the info ASAP
