I got a new torch coral from my LFS that has two heads. I placed it in my waterbox 20 tank last night with the heads facing in line (horizontally to the front glass) with my mp10. My mp10 placement is halfway down towards the front of the tank. I woke up this morning and the right head is starting to open up but the left head isn’t. Should I have placed the heads so they are vertical to the mp10 and the front glass?

Give it indirect flow . Don't blast it with a mp10 .
Thanks for the feedback. Here is my mp10 placement which isn’t directly in line with the torch. I’m also running it in reefcrest at 20%. Any recommendations on the placement?

I’d say not Idea… I’d move it ,
In my limited experience a gentle back. n. forth seems to be enough …
I couldn’t get the flow low enough for. my torches/frammers with my red sea gyre… I ended up shutting it off

Where do you suggest I move it? Higher up?
