I have a 75gallon reef tank. I glued a green star polyp about a week ago to the bottom back right of my tank on the back glass. I want to make sure I’m giving it enough flow without disrupting my other tank life. As of now it has only come out about once or twice. What percent of flow does one recommend? I am using a Red Sea Wave 45. Which is on the right of the tank flowing upwards to allow good oxygen. The green star polyp is below it to the right. I have pictures to reference below. In the second picture you can see both the wave maker and the polyp.

It would be hard to put a number on it. I would say if they are flowing but not pinned down it should be fine. GSP can be moody but they adapt pretty well.

I have it set to 40% but I want to make sure that would be enough.
