    Cam already elaborated some, but it basically depends on the individual coral. I have a "Peach Tree" chalice that seems to only like to be shaded. I have some others that don't mind direct light (but on the sandbed). And my Meteor Shower Cyphastrea does best when shaded.

    Thanks for the responses everyone! I'll be keeping the suggestions in my mind when I'm at my LFS. I definitely want to get a sun coral in time but when my tank is more mature. I found a real nice spot for a Cyphastrea. My LFS seems to have them often enough as well.
