I am looking for some suggestions for corals for a high flow area of my tank. I know torches and SPS would be good for this area but are there any others that I could consider to put there?

What type of PAR are you running in that area?

Do those move? From what I have read they are pretty aggressive with fish too

Toadstools look great in high (turbulent) flow!

Put the easy, hardy. fast growing, and inexpensive compared to other corals Green Star Polyps in that area with room, they will love the flow and move gracefully and grow, one of my favorite corals.

ya Im hoping I can keep it on one rock... I didnt want it but my gf loves it so I had to
My green sinularia has an mp40 pushing water directly at it and it loves it. The flow causes it to grow nice thick branches vs long skinny ones. Pretty much all of my leathers like flow.

I gotta get some leathers then that looks great thank you!My green sinularia has an mp40 pushing water directly at it and it loves it. The flow causes it to grow nice thick branches vs long skinny ones. Pretty much all of my leathers like flow.
I love leathers. They are tolerant of higher light for me also. These two I've shown are getting 300+ par and are fine with it . This toadstool has an mp40 directed at it also but a little further away than the sinularia. It does make it change shape but I like it. With less flow the toadstool will flatten out. With leathers the flow also helps out when they shed. Lower flow areas I sometimes have to blow them off with a turkey baster
