Flow for LTA

I just moved my large LTA from my 30 gallon to my 120. Im not sure how much flow they like, slow, medium, fast??? I have a return right by him but I dont know if I should direct it right at him or just in his direction. (Its not that strong)
 
Keep the flow indirect, not directly blowing it on the nem. This is a good rule of thumb for most corals as well. Try to keep the tentacles flowing back and forth gently, also keep in mind that the more flow it has around it, the shorter it will most likely be and visa versa for lower flow rates.
 
In my 58g I have a purple LTA, as for the flow in that tank -- ALOT :)

My return pump is rated for 650 GPH -- throttle back a bit. I have one SIEO 1100 and 3 SIEO 620s. Must of the flow that hit it is indirect and all 4 PHs are on a wavemaker.
