I recently got three torches and had to move my powerhead to make sure they got enough flow. I just want to make sure the hammer isn’t getting too much flow in the back right corner of the tank.

I agree that I would increase the amount of flow it is getting. You want the hammer to be swaying back and forth.

Definitely not too much flow. Did you increase it since your original post? It looks like a bit more than in the original video, but you could still use more, imo. The corals depend on flow to bring them food and to remove waste. The tentacles of Euphyllia make this challenging because they look so delicate but also impede flow.
