Default Where to place Rics under 144w lighting?

I'm going to buy some Rics and want to know where the best spot for placement in my BC29 under 144w lighting would be.

Ricordias should be fine almost anywhere, but with almost all corals...its best to have it as close to the lights as possible. if thats not possible just put tham where you like it

they require low to medium light with low water movement. place the coral at the bottom until it fully opens then move it to the desired location.

+1 on that

Except Ricodeas will bleach just like any other coral when it gets too much light. somewhere in the bottom 1/5th of the tank preferably depending on what kind of lighting you have in that 144w's.
