need some quick advice

Just went to my lfs up at school. The crappy one. Occationally they have decent stuff in their frag tank for pretty cheap that they buy off local reefers. Well today was one of those lucky days and they had a piece of frogspawn open and happy looking that had broken off a mother colony. This is a baby frag and i mean baby, when open it was only the size of a kix ball maybe? It has a small skeleton on the bottom and it looks like its lost some flesh but i think i can nurse it back to health, and it really has about a 200% better chance in my tank than their dirty frag tank.
My question, where should i put it? I was thinking of maybe glueing it to a small piece of rubble and also maybe just sticking the stalk into a small crevice of my live rock.
where do you think it should go and how much flow? I just want this baby to live and grow out, who knows maybe i can sell it for a profit i bought it for 2$.
pictures will come once its open and in the tank

How big is your tank? Mine is a 46g and I have mine almost at the top with medium flow and it LOVES it and is growing crazy.
 
its a 5.5 gallon.
i stuck it in a crevice at the middle of the tank in medium flow. It took forever and it was so small i scrapped a little flesh off the skeleton. I also dropped it on my micro which is currently receding for some reason so im sure that didnt help. Ill see how it does. all i really care about is the health of the micro and i think dropping a frogspawn on top wont help much heh

put it as close to the light as possible, give it medium flow and most importantly, keep the algae from growing on the skeleton. If algae grows on the skeleton, it is very unlikely it will recover.
Good Luck though!

thanks, i might move it tomorrow, its very very delicate. Might as well be on a thick toothpick...i will do my best to bring it back i hope it makes it. Its open right now and looks pretty happy
 
hahahahahahah this thing is seriously so FU***** cool!!!!! it is in a little crack and it basically fills out out perfect. Im not sure if its going to work there because it wont have much room for the stalk to grow but who cares this thing is sick. It looks so cute like a little green and purple anemone sticking out of a rock
