Hey! So I have this Duncan for about 2 weeks and still don’t really know what’s the quantity of water flow that I should have on him.
Here is a video on how much flow he is receiving, should I increase or decrease the flow?

Couldn’t get your video to play, but they don’t require much flow (or light for that matter). I keep mine on the sanded. Just enough flow to make their tentacles wave gently. They do like to eat, so feed them.

Same. I have my Duncan between 2 rocks on the sandbed.

Enough flow to have them waving but you don’t want them looking like Torches.
 
I have mine a bit less but I think you are good. Just watch it over a couple of days and you’ll see if it is liking it or not.
