Light/Flow preference of frogspawn/hammer/gonipora?

I'm in the beginning stages of stocking my nano(29 gallon) mixed reef of softies and a few lps. The three top spots in the rockwork are planned to be a frogspawn, a hammer, and an ORA gonipora. Since all the sites I look on say they all like moderate flow and medium light I'm having a little trouble deciding where to place which one. Center spot is highest so brightest with the highest flow(directly in front of the output of the AC100 HOB fuge). To the left the rock is about the same height at it's highest nub and the rest slightly lower(probably not enough to matter) and nearest the intake of the HOB so is subject to a gentle undercurrent. To the right is lower by a couple of inches and is near the skimmer input/output and so is subject for very gentle flow.

I had heard that the gonipora really don't like much flow so was thinking it should go on the right.

Any thoughts on which of these three prefer or tolerate the most/least flow?

Thanks
 
Don't know about the Frogspawn or the Goni but my Hammer seems to like on the bottom with low-med flow. So I've placed mine on the sand in the front right corner of the tank where it's ideal spot seems to be. But then again I have high flow up top with 2 wp-10s on s1w1 facing each other and an ac70 on low.
 
goni on the right and in the sand. Frogspawn and hammers can tolerate a decent amount of flow but not blasting. I have mine in a high flow SPS dominant tank.
