Water movement for soft corals?

How much water movement is ideal for soft corals? I have a 40 breeder with 1 Jebao wp-25. I have a voltage adapter for it, and Im only running it at 15 volts vs the stock 24. To my eye this looks like plenty, with it on 24 volts everything was a sandstorm, and the fish had a hard time swimming. Could you please watch this video I posted on Youtube of the movement of the corals, and tell me if you think is the ideal flow? Thanks.

Your good to go. You got a nice standing wave going and the coral movement looks good. Do you know how many GPH its outputting?
 
Some like a lot most dont. it really depends on what you want to keep but assuming you are going to be keeping a different variety. I recommend you point the PH at a tank wall to break up the flow. how much have you played around with the settings? I have two wp 60s and I can do anything from barely moving polyps to LR flying out of the tank lol. A lot of flow is a very good thing, its the direct current you want to avoid with anything that has soft tissue. you will find that you have zones in your tank with little flow and some that you cant keep things in place, use this to your advantage and place corals accordingly.
