Flopping corals

[Jakey_cakey1]

Hi guys, I know for sure my corals are not dead but they appear to be flopping could this be down to too much flow? Water params are perfect btw

Leathers and many softies actually prefer higher flow.

Can you add a video (best to upload it to you tube and copy the link here) of how much movement your flow is creating?

Need more flow for sure.

I have a wave maker coming the 30th that should sort it right? Also what would the preferred flow look like as I’ve not been in the hobby long and I’m still getting to grips with stuff like that

That was helpful, thanks.
in my opinion, flow may not be strong enough. You could try to increase it and see what happens. Toadstool, especially like and need higher flow to help clear off detritus and the waxy build up they produce at times.
What you don’t want to do is aim the flow directly at them, it’s best to do indirect. Hopefully they will perk up.

Depends on size but probably.
