That doesn't appear to be too much flow.

Yeah, they can take a lot more than that, and will probably extend more with more flow.
Watch some movies of them on the reef.
I found the complete opposite in my tank. Went for moderate flow with little to no growth down to lower flow and hammers went from 2 heads to 12 heads in a matter of months. Perhaps there are differences by regions where they are collected.

That's possible. And it's also possible very similar types of euphyllia adapt to their own conditions.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
