Question

first coral

Just added my first coral ever. Hope ive placed this one in an ok spot!

Its on the bottom of a 24" deep tank right below a 250mh. Circulation here is about medium. It moves slowly in the current.

Im curious... I read where generally they take quite a while to re-open after adding them.... Im not sure but it looks fully open after only 15 minutes in the new tank... Any advice in care is appreciated!
