Hi! I bought a new, much stronger power head for sps, but my fish and LPS are terrified of it. What should I do to calm them? And can strong flow kill LPS and softies?

Whats the tank size and what type of powerhead? Unless you have a sand storm in your tank, its very unlikely the flow is too much. Fish actually like to play in the flow. Can you show a short video of what you think is "terrified fish"? Keep in mind the ocean waves and storms and typhoons...... saltwater fish are able to swim in strong flow.
