Is this too much flow?

Hey just wanted to see if this is too much flow for my frogspawn

Hard to say for sure. Mine like a gentle sway and lower light levels. If you have a wave maker that has a pulse feature that would be best...

Looks okay to me but you might want to scrap off those vermited snails unless your tank is already infested.

You want them to sway, not do the hula dance. best goal is to avoid the extremes with this type of coral. . . .
Avoid extremely bright locations or areas of very high current, and avoid areas that are too dark or with currents that are too low. Fast currents risk damaging the soft, fleshy polyps (and getting an infection). Bright lights will cause bleaching. Insufficient lighting will cause the poor coral to wither away and starve to death.
Hammer corals only require a moderate amount of light for photosynthesis and can grow well in the intermediate regions of your tank. Just about any reef LED lighting should be sufficient for most tanks. Reduce white light intensity and get it off the sand bed which sand can irritate it.
The polyps should sway in the current, but not sustain so much pressure they are constantly bent over their skeleton. Too much flow will tear the polyps (worst case) and cause the polyps do not extend in the first place (best case). So, don’t give them too much flow.
