Hello
I got a new Torch and Hammer coral.
They are on the sandbed now of my 125g w/ 3 250w MHs.
The torch is branching and the Hammer is a wall
Torch is in a flow where the left half of its polyps sway a good amount while the right side whips around....yet it's expanding more everyday and I think it reached its full potential in terms of how much it can expand. Should I move it? I mean...would it even expand more in a lower flow area?
The hammer coral...I have in a low flow area. Most of the polyps are out less than an inch from the base...so there isnt much "flowin" ...but a couple polyps on one part have polyps extended out an inch or two.
Should I try putting it in a higher flow area like the torch to see more expanding? It's a large piece....like 6" across and sections that branch off the "wall"....
Also - I dont know exactly how to mount this coral. Branching torch..I just stuck in the sand. THe wall..I stuck in the sand but it is formed so that when I stick the base in, some of the sides of the structure rub into the sand. Any pictures would be great...
Thanks =)
