32.5 fluval flex - just added clown fish and Duncan questions on flow

[DustinDec]

So I did a water change and everything looked good so I got two clowns and a Duncan today. The Duncan I imagine will take time before it’ll come out, but I’m worried about the clown fish. They’re just chilling in the back and I’m wondering if it could be due to my flow. Im uncertain on my light schedule and flow. I have the stock light that came with the fluval flex 32.2 and two Nero 3 heads.

As always, any feedback is appreciated.

Duncan’s are pretty hardy lps. Great beginner corals. I have one my self that was one of my first. Started with 2 polyps , in 2 ½ yrs it’s grown to 17 polyps. They like fairly low par under 100, and like lowish to low medium flow.

The Duncan is out, seems to be doing well. But I’m still worried the flow might be too high for the clowns.

The fish are fine. Clowns go to the corners when new. Mine still live in the corner. The flow in the ocean is much more than will ever be in your tank. Don’t worry about the fish, they will find themselves a spot after a day or two.

Ya this ^. Mine were hosted by my return nozzle in the upper left corner for a year and a half before they moved down and forward and are now hosted by my duncan.

They look fully grown, is that a current picture? How long did it take to get that large? Very pretty!

I’ve had them just over 2 years.
