High placement - High light loving Corals

[Matt_b]

Trying to get a few ideas of what corals i could place here if any?



theres about 5" of water above the highest peak in a 55usg tank and a 150w MH 8" above the water, the stream looks like its blasting straight at the place but its actually behind, the flow is from left to right across the front

Is there anything that prefer these conditions?

be good to hear some ideas

a nice T. crocea or T. maxima clam would do fine there. are you interested in fuzzy sticks or more softies/LPS.

I too was thinking of a Maxima Clam!

To be honest Geoff all the sps i've seen around where i live are so bland they almost look bleached, maybe they are? i don't know.
lps and softies are what i mainly want as theres a better variety around here with better colours

I'll do some research about clams

I also vote for a nice Maxima!!

For LPS a nice torch or hammer would do ok I think. Don't go by my word alone though

Not the best placement for those, I almost bleached my frogspawn and it was in the bottom of the tank but directly under the MH lights(10,000K 150W DE). A Favites sp. brain can tolerate that type of lightning, mine is in the middle of the tank directly under the MH and the color is great. A yellow fiji leather, a toadstool or a finger leather will also love that amount of lightning.
