    Hey all... Im on the process of slowly moving everything out of my tank so i can make the big switch to my 120gal. A couple months ago i noticed something weird in my CC substrate to find out recently that it was a Caribbean Corallimorph (Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum). Now i have a book that talks a little about it but not enough. And i cant seem to find anything relevant on the web. My question is where should i put it in the new tank. Should i stick it in the DSB or on the LR? Its pretty small... maybe 1/4 inch. I can grab it, just dont know what to do with it.

    Thanks

    Marc.

    Well it will probably get burried in a DSB. I would assume it is attached to a piece of CC. I would glue or epoxy the CC to some LR. Looks like they do better in low lighting as most corallimorhs do. Hope that is of some help :-/
