Re: Optimal placement for corals
I usually check Live Aquaria for the specific coral I have and go with their placement suggestions. I always start them low in the tank and move them up or to a different spot after a week or two if they seem to like it.

Re: My duncan coral colonies
Two shots of my Duncan - one with the lights on, one with them off. Different angles too. Sorry for the poor quality pics, I'm still getting the hang of using my old DSLR again after a long break.

Re: My duncan coral colonies
Looks nice. I recently picked up a Duncan and it's being stubborn about opening up. Too much light possibly, even at the bottom. I'm gonna try feeding it tomorrow, see if that does the trick. It did open up a bit, but just barely. If anything gets too close, it pretty much closes right back up.
