Turbinaria flow tolerance

[pmemmer]

Hi All--

I recently purchased a turbinaria cup coral, and have it placed temporarily on the sand bed in my 12g cadlights tank... it gets low-moderate flow there, and seems to be doing well in that spot. I'd like to move it to my other tank, which is my more visible display tank, but the only spot available in that tank is about five inches in front of an MP10. Would that be too much flow for a turbinaria?



Thanks, Phil

That sounds like a lot of flow for a scroll coral, would make a nice spot for an acro though

Try protecting it from the flow by placing behind some rock..and wait and see what happens....:hmm2:
