Do the really fuzzy ones need less flow?

Forgive me if it’s a silly question, but I’m fairly new to sps. Stocking my tank with the haul from the @fraghouse live sale, and planning placement.

specifically, I’ve got a few sticks ( Hipster, Smoke Screen) with very looong polyp extension. Should I place these in a relatively lighter flow area, compared to, say, my Pink Floyd? Any other considerations?

Thanks!!!

Flow is why those fuzzy corals exist to interact with what they can gather from the currents. Same for torches and SPS, ime. Gl

Yeah, I get that. I know they need high flow, and certainly more than a torch, or most LPS, but in comparison to an acropora with much smaller / shorter polyp extension- Less?
How much is too much?
