Montipora ID and placement help

Recommended Posts

Picked up this little frag , I think it’s a montipora . Can I get some feedback on my placement.  It’s in the middle to upper third oA125CFA3-DD7B-4E17-ABD0-6A26E18CEAD3.thumb.jpeg.1b03883cfa835ad9db975ec41617b6b3.jpeg31B549FE-C04B-4A8B-9212-AA84B8AAE919.thumb.jpeg.f25d5c550ca3d7b77d359efd6d2035e3.jpegf my tank.  Because of the shape it seems to create shadows on itself. Should I move it or see how it reacts. Thank you

Possible, but it's a very peculiar shape, so hard to say for sure.

It's recommended to mount frags sideways or at an angle ( – or / ) rather than vertically ( | ) so they catch more light and maybe more flow.

 

BTW, a lot of corals grow like that on purpose to self-shade.  The sun is bright!! 😎
