Coral placement in Aquapod with MH

[greenreefer]

I'm looking for a couple of corals for my tank, but I haven't kept any mushroom, ricordea, or zoanthid before. I have a 24 gallon aquapod with 150w MH lighting. If you keep any of these in a tank with similar lighting, would you mind saying (pics are great too) where these have done well in your tank? WIll I need to create a ledge/cave to shelter any of these from direct light from the MH lighting. I've googled for this information, but everyone seems to say different things and none of them talk about a specific tank setup. thanks

all 3 of those are low to med light corals and will do well near the bottom or to the sides out of the direct beam of light imo. If acclimated properly to the light they would more then likely do well in any location in the tank.

thanks, do they all need to be in low flow areas? I've read a couple of places that ricordeas are coralmorphs (spelling?) but need to be treated like SPS. Ever heard of that?

no i have never heard that, those corals need med flow.

Even in PC light tanks shrooms and zoas do well, my only recomendation would be to look at the lighting they were under when you bought them. And if it was anything less than MH you should prob acclimate them slowly to your new lights as they are alot more intense.
