High flow Coral ideas

[jthunderzzz]

I am looking for some suggestions for corals for a high flow area of my tank. I know torches and SPS would be good for this area but are there any others that I could consider to put there?

Carpet nems

What type of PAR are you running in that area?

Carpet nems

Do those move? From what I have read they are pretty aggressive with fish too

What type of PAR are you running in that area?

I have both high and low light areas ranging from 75-200 par

Toadstools look great in high (turbulent) flow!

Put the easy, hardy. fast growing, and inexpensive compared to other corals Green Star Polyps in that area with room, they will love the flow and move gracefully and grow, one of my favorite corals.

I actually just tried some GSP there on an isolated rock! they seem to not mind the flow.

My green sinularia has an mp40 pushing water directly at it and it loves it. The flow causes it to grow nice thick branches vs long skinny ones. Pretty much all of my leathers like flow.

I love leathers. They are tolerant of higher light for me also. These two I've shown are getting 300+ par and are fine with it . This toadstool has an mp40 directed at it also but a little further away than the sinularia. It does make it change shape but I like it. With less flow the toadstool will flatten out. With leathers the flow also helps out when they shed. Lower flow areas I sometimes have to blow them off with a turkey baster
