open brain and bare bottom ?

[jph]

i'm going to be moving one tank (with DSB) to a new tank with a bare bottom setup.

one thing that i'm not sure about is my open brain coral (Trachyphyllia Geoffroyi)

how will this one like a bare bottom? the skeleton is like a pointy cone, so he'll be tipped over leaning on it's side if i put it on a flat hard surface. will that tick him off, or even hurt the tissue where it will be leaning on the bottom?

if i was you i would put the substate you have now where you decide where to put the brain like a corner. just a little bit that way he is still happy this is just my opinion tho

IME your biggest consern is how much light he gets,... Especially in my BB tanks I had to be super careful not to give my green one too much light or it would bleach.

In my BB 15 he was in a back corner shadowed and plenty happy

My red brains seem OK on the bottom of the 95 after I took the sand out
