Got this pink goni today and I'm wondering if this is too much flow? I can move it to a place where a large rock blocks the flow some. It's polyps aren't fully extended but that could be because it's just been introduced to the tank.

I’d keep it where it is.. polyp extension like that within the first couple days in a new tank is normal. They definitely don’t like being moved around all the time.
 
Thanks guys! Polyp extension is better today....what I think of as normal for a goni. Very pleased with the health and color of this frag.
 
I think its to much flow ,,, mine puts out tenticals up to 2 1/2 inches long when its feeding,, I couldn't see it doing that in this much flow though,, mine is a happy coral,, I have plenty of experience in knowing what a unhappy coral looks like lol
 
I'm torn. It sure looks like a lot of flow for a goni but it does continue to look good. This is what it looks like today (48 hours after introduction).

To much flow. Notice were I have mine, under the pump and not in direct flow. The goni has movement but just a floating movement.

I have mine placed under my power head also ,,, its the spot in my tank with the least flow ,, it gets only mild flow thru it ,, I will stick with my previous post Saltyhog ,, its getting to much flow,,, if those polyps fully extended ,, they would rip off,,,
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
