Take a look at this video and let me know if you think it's too much flow for my frogspawn coral

anyone?

looks fine..

I have mine under more flow than that and its fine. As long as it doesnt retract or show signs of stress you are fine.

Thanks for the responses!

nope looks good to me.

Sorry to disagree. It may be borderline, but it is likely going to have problems. Remember this is basically a lagoon coral where flow is slow at best.

Can't really tell much from the video but if you're wondering why not move it or change the flow so it's in lower flow ? Euphyllia can survive in various flow levels but it takes some trying to find that sweet spot where it looks not just good, but great.

gonna agree here. i wouldn't say it's getting blasted, but it's definately getting more than it should be getting

It's on the high side for flow, but it's out and plump looking. One thing with Frogspawn, is they shrivel up and retract quick when there is too much flow, that one is not retracted or shriveled...

I have a frog with about 20 heads 34" away from an MP40wES(70% flow). Mine is blowing around like that all the time. Been that way for about a year now. I would just watch over it. If the polyps stay out like that then you should be able to keep it there.

+1, I'd move it to a location with lower current. It'd be ok there, but won't expand as much as you'd like.

I agree. Mine (about the size of a softball) was in flow similar to that but still quite full. I would just pay attention to him and let him (or her) tell you how they feel. If full and healthy looking, might be fine. If retracting, could be an issue.
