im new to the site and a year old in the hobby. i just have a couple of questions, that if someone can answer it would be great.i just purchased 4 pieces of coral. chili, colt, Aquacultured Millepora Green and stubby fingers.i got 2 pieces of chili coral, which one piece is not on a rock. should I glue it to a rock? second is too much light a bad thing. if I place coral that requires medium light right under my light is that too much. if I aim my heads at my coral is that too strong of a flow. this web site doesn't give any info on stubby fingers. what kind of light and flow should it have. last how and what if anything should I feed these corals.
thanks james

the chilli carol do best under shade since they dont need much light at all. as for coral directly under the light. it depends on what kind of light u hv. if its pc, then it's fine. leathers in general dont need that much light. gv them medium light and flow. i wouldnt place the coral w direct water flow tho. good luck!
