Purple Fire Fish (Are they ok/happy in High Flow 110G SPS TANK)

[WallyB]

Wondering if a Purple Firefish will be happy in a fairly High Flow, Random Current Tank?

I already have a Helfrichi Fire Fish, and he is amazing. That is in my 90 Gallon Reef (LPS) tank, so flow is Lagoon Slow.

Got a couple of Purple Fire Fish in QT (Getting Along like a pair), however I'm having concerns if they will be ok in a Fairly High Flow 110 Gallon SPS Tank.

They will have plenty of places to hang out since plenty of live rock, caves, and places.

Front/Back bottom of Tank is Steady flow, but anywhere else is pretty rough.

All the other fish have no problem (Tang, Angel, even a Neon Goby).

I can't put them into the Helfrichi Low Flow Tank (since 3 firefish, 2 types wouldn't work out).

They tend to stay in low flow areas in the tank. I don’t think you’ll see it a lot if you get it

They do just fine with high flow.

High flow zero problems. I have a purple in a 100g with 3 mp40s.

Thanks Everyone. Seems they can handle the Higher Flow based on your experience. And one vote for Low Flow.
However I forgot about a FireFish I had a couple year ago. He went into my older 65 Gallon SPS Medium Flow Tank.

Never came out. I thought he was DEAD.
About a year and half later, I was upgrading to the 110 Gal, and I remove the Rocks. (and he showed up ALIVE). I swear I never even saw him once for a second.
It may not have been flow, but possibly a fish that didn't like him.

So I have a plan B for the Short term.

My Sump is Multi Compartment (Algae Scrubber, Skimmer section, Return.....And a Refuge Section I just have kept empty (JUST WATER), since the Algae Scrubber does it all)

SO I moveD into some of my Live Rock. It's slow flow fill/drain, and a small power head for extra circulation.
The Only Sand bed in all my systems.
GLASS LID.
PERFECT SPOT for the FIREFISH.

Basically a 9 Gallon Tank 10x9 15" tall, with a 140 Gallon System to keep it clean.

They can always got into the DT, but after QT they go in here for a while.
