This is this guy's first day in my tank. This is the lowest flow spot in the tank with enough real estate to allow him to unfold but the flow is higher than I thought. The flesh is not pushed in but the flow is enough to lift the leading edge and curl it under slightly but to my eye, it looks okay. Is the flow okay, or do I need to make some adjustments?

Can you post to youtube so iphone users can see. I have used small pieces of rubble to redirect flow to prevent lifting the edges of my meaty corals.

That doesn’t look like too much flow. Will probably lay flat as it increases in size. You could always put a small piece of rock a few inches away to deflect to flow ip and over temporarily if it starts to lift more.

Okay, thank you!
