How does they hammer coral placement look?

[sixline]

I have a new hammer coral in a tentative placement. I haven't kept many Euphyllia before and am wondering about flow. Is this too much? Not enough? Just right?

I keep mine in lower flow than that. I find they stay more retracted when in higher flow. They have delicate tissue and too much flow can tear the heads off the skeleton. I keep them mid to lower placement of the tank but thats completely related to lighting/par

I agree with @Reefer5640 Flow is pretty aggressive

Darn it. That's what I thought.

It's going to be hard to find a spot with lower flow, but I will try.

Your flow isnt that bad-maybe 10% high. The problems with flow are often from being blasted on one side-and yours looks somewhat random. I have one tank with highflow that is hammer dominated-I make sure the flow is swirling around hammers so they are blown in many directions-extension and growth is amazing. Conventional wisdom is medium if not high flow for hammers- the definition of those flows is where it gets difficult!
