High Flow Coral Suggestion

BigEZ77 · 03/09/2016, 05:38 PM

So I have a peak in my aquascape that sits directly infront of my Gyre 130 (about 4 inches from it). The peak is only 3 inches from the water line. Its a new tank (about a month since the cycle ended). Are there any corals that would work in this location?

Thanks,

Russell

Maybe a small yellow Fiji leather? I'm not really to familiar with those Gyre's though so maybe not.

Bird's nest, extremely Hardy Coral..... lived through all my newbie mistakes including dkh at 19, trying to fix pH issues ...lol

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look at both.

Since it's only three inches from the water line I would look for something that tables or something that encrusts like a monti.

Thanks Joshua, that's actually what my LFS suggested.

Gorgonians can handle a lot of flow.
