hey I got a rainbow monti at the frag swap, and it doesn't seem too happy with me.The polyps aren't coming out much. I put it in the sand under some decent random current. Where do you guys have yours? low current, low light?

pretty much the same for me, more sand but less watts, But what about flow?

It can take a while to adapt to your tank.... it's better to keep them low and provide ample flow....
