Leathers and Colt

What do toadstools like as far as lighting and flow?
How about for colt corals?

high light and high flow...depends a little on size. I have one that is over twelve inches in diameter that sits between two powerheads and right under halides. I have a male toadstool that stays lower with little flow and less light by the same halides. So in other words it varies and as they get bigger they can take a lot more of both. Colts love light but have a harder time dealing with heavy flow.

hope that helps

they do okay....but not as good. they need the flow to keep sediment off of them and so on. its better with highly active high flow. but....
