Should I put it in the sand or just a little higher than that? For now I have moved it to sit on the rock right in front of the six line wrasse in the picture that I took. So we will see what results I get from that. Does anyone know what I can do about the green algae or whatever it is that has grown on the skeleton tips. Could that be from too much light? Will/Can it go away now that I've moved it down and maybe it won't be a breeding ground for that green stuff anymore? I sure hope so, that bubble coral is my favorite, but its also been the biggest pain!

With that much lighting over your tank, I would put it on the sand.

Well the chocolate chip star was in there before we started the reef part. He stays on the walls and does not get on the rocks, therefore since I found out he wasn't reef safe I have kept him anyways. If he ever stops being a wall-hugger then I'll get rid of him. I did another iodine dip on the bubble coral and put in on the sand. Haven't seen much change since I did that yesterday so we will see.
