Pagoda frag placement?

spankysreef · 12/18/2010, 10:05 PM

Hey guys,
I was at the LFS tonight trading frags and i had a few bucks of store credit to use up($4 to be exact). And the manager gave me a Pagoda frag about 1"x2",to make up for the difference. Not bad for 4 bucks!..I think. Its not super colorful. In fact it looked very pale and drab in his frag tank.However its polyps were open nicely. I have never kept one but through my research on-line i gather that it can be placed about anywhere. Is this correct? Alot of the beautiful specimens with high light tend to be towards the lower strata of the aquarium. From the pictures i've seen anyway. I have pretty good success with the LPS and few SPS's i own.

I have a 150 show, 48x24x29.
2x 400w SE 20k XM's
2x 54w T5 ATI blue+ (cant get enough of this color combo!)
I am thinking the best place would be near the bottom with moderate,intermittent flow. Its rectangular shaped now. I would love a nice round shape in the end! Anyways, Thanks in advance!!! This site helps me and other hobbyists by leaps and bounds! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Kingfisher!
Not any good ones... Our camera shot craps about a month ago. But, my sister is bringing over her camera for the holidays! She is also bringing a macro lense!
Cant wait to experiment!
