Where is the best place to put these corals. I have two chalices on the rocks, one favia on the sand and a second on the rocks. One of my chalices is barely alive. I'm trying to save it. I know they perfer low flow or indirect flow. Not sure on much else.

Low flow is a must. Most need low light and placed more at an angle/horizontal. If chalices are small, sand bed could kill them by being accidently covered…few chalices like Hollywood stunner don’t mind higher lighting and flow…but this chalice is one of the exceptions.
