Green Star Polyp Flow Question

[FishAreFriends2]

I am going to be getting some corals from a fellow reefer and I wonder where GSP should be placed? High flow, med flow or low flow? I am thinking of putting it at the top where there is alot of flow is that good enough for them?

GSP will be fine in pretty much any conditions. I've had it under very little flow and it was fine, and i've had it under SERIOUS flow and it still opens up perfectly fine. In fact, i'd say its better under heavier flow. The polyps on mine open probably about an inch long sometimes and its under heavy flow now.

The brighter the light, the better too

I agree with sir_dude. They will do well under many different conditons. I would have to say with stronger flow you will get longer polyp extention. That is to say with everything else in order.

High flow = long polyp extention and faster growth IME
Low flow = slower growth IME

I agree, high flow is better for GSP
