High Light and/or High Flow LPS Corals?

[meverha1]

Looking for LPS corals that like either High Light and/or high flow. I'm trying to keep my tank mostly Soft and LPS corals and I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm going to place near the top of the tank.

well if you are going all lps and softies why not just lower the flow rate and light's abit & acclimate what you want up top?

Frogspawn at the top in shaded areas. Any lps needs to go through acclimation to be at the top. Almost all lps dont like high light. Chalices are your best bet.

I pretty much disagree with all of this.
Frogspawn, hammer, duncans, lot of LPS can be put higher.
And chalices generally don't like that like light.
I know there are exceptions, I had hollywood stunner that loved being as high as possible.
But the more delicate chalices, I would not put them up top.

This. All my chalices do well in low light and low flow.

My experience matches that of snorvich. Vivid's Riddler chalice likes slow flow and Darth Maul chalice loves 80 par. Hollywood Stunner seems less particular.
