here is a clip from this post
Sun coral need one thing other then good water to live and that is high concentrations of food to EACH polyp in order to thrive. To reach this level of food you would have to dose HUGE amounts of food into your tank. This of course would be very bad for your bio load not to mention expensive.
With the method I described in the above post you can achieve this high level of food directly around the coral with only a small amount of food. The end result is a very happy coral. A happy wallet and a happy tank.
You DO NOT have to put this coral in low light. It does not mater where you put it. It could give a rats azs about light. It gains nothing from it nor is it bothered by it.
You need good flow on this coral to keep it from being over come by algae. This is one of the reasons it grows in dark places on the reefs is to keep the algae( which do need light) away. Also light needing corals grow much faster and it would be quickly over run while trying to compete for food out on the reefs. Under over hangs and in the dark give the coral the perfect “natural environment to thrive. However in our reefs as long as we provide them with proper feeding they can be placed any place you wish.
hey thanks alot this really helps
