To much flow for Torch corals???

New to torches and trying to figure out flow for them. Just wanted some opinions about if this is too much flow for these guys.

Hi there, i have 5 or 6 torches and your flow looks ok. It's important that you get some flow both directions (which looks like you have) and not too much. I think every tank/torch is a little different so pay close attention to how much they open and if they don't look happy, either move them to another location or change your flow options

Looks good, it can be a bit much at times, but it's fine.

I had it set to the max pulse flow setting for the video. But it’s set to change between pulse and random, with a verity of flow, throughout the day. I figured I’d find the max and dial back from there.

Looks to harsh to me especially on small torches. Look at my torch flow.

Okay, so make it a little less and it will be perfect.

It won’t let me see the video

Not sure why, looks like it plays but basically if you look close at the top of a torch head it is surrounded by very tiny edge teeth like tiny shark teeth my LFS describes so if flow is slamming the tentacles flesh down on these serrated edges you can damage flesh leading to bacteria infections.
