|  New to Corals
I have just started my tank and now I want to get some info. on the basics of corals. Not so much which ones are good or feeding, but basic, like how do you place them? (Can I just put the frag on rock and it will take hold?) How do you acclimate them? Can they touch the air or not? and any other question you may deem important. thank in advance.
