my next q is


Im gonna move it 2 a diffrent location.... on the other side of the tank.

do you think there will be not enought light at about 1 foot under the light insted of the like 3 or 4 inch's it was at yesterday (or the last time i saw it untill now)

i only have t5's, i know isnt enought but it was growing..

Keep it as high as possible. Thats my guess. Since it is a SPS it needs a considerable amount of light. If iwere you i would move it to where you want to and see how it does. You'll know within a couple of days if its doing good or not.

montipora corals do not need the higher lighting as most other sps like acropora. Most montipora plating corals can be kept quite successfully under pc's, vho's, and t5 lighting. They do just fine but do need to be placed higher. Is there anything left of the frag, like tissue, polyp extension???

Monti's don't need near the light of Acros and T5s are amazing bright lights. Which T5 do you have. I've got the Tek5 6 bulb 48" fixture and have Montis more than a foot under the bulbs doing amazingly well. I see growth every couple days!
