    Bought a bunch of frags from saltcritters last night! Need help with the care and placement of a few of them.

    So the ones i need to know about are:
    1.Neon Green Saw Breaker Leptastrea
    2.Salty Lakes Favia
    3.Milkyway Chalice
    4.Radioactive Ink Blot Blastomussa Wellsi
    5.Pink Cyphastrea

    120w reefbreeders dimmable LED fixture over 75gal tank.

    The rest of my order is acans and zoanthids, so those can all go on the sand bed. But for the ones i listed, i am looking for, high/med/low light/flow. And also do i NEED to target feed any of those? Or will they all be fine with just the light?

    thanks guys!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Congrats on the new stuff, very nice corals.

    What type of lighting do you have?

    Typically LPS should go lower in the tank initially until the corals are acclimated to your lighting.

    Mod flow, not in direct flow is good.

    They will all benefit from target feedings, if your lighting is sufficient and you are not running a ULNS you may get away without target feeding. Guess you will just have to see how they do, personally they grow better with feeding periodically.

    The lep. can go on the sand bed, I have the same lights on my 55 gallon with an orange saw breaker and it is doing great on the sand bed, they like some flow too!
