I need to know the lighting and flow needs of candycane corals, maze brain,and moon brain and frog spawn. How high up should each be placed? Do they like direct flow? Should they be shaded? I have a 20 gallon lit with a 150watt 10k metal halide pendant.

You need to acclimate your corals from the bottom going to the top if you don't know your tank yet. IME, they are usually alright in the bottom and does not like direct flow.

my candy cane does well in medium light and low flow... my frogspawn is doing well in high light and medium flow just so its tentacles are swaying back and forth. my brain is in low light with low flow.
