How much flow should be at a frogspawn?

My tank developed a leak last week, so a tank change had to made, after the rebuild my frogspawn hasnt opened up fully, it is getting hit with a lot of flow where it is now and i am just wondering if that might be what has caused this?

everything else seems to be doing fine

even my toadstool is getting quite the blast

sorry for the questons i just want everything to be happy and healthy

thx

I like my frogspawn (and I think my frogspawn likes me :wink:) when it is just barely moving, just enough to wave the tentacles slightly. Too much flow and it seems like it doesn't extend its tentacles as much. I don't know about too little flow as my tank doesn't really have alot of no flow spots now.

Toadstools don't seem to mind the blast of flow. I have mine in a 4ft tank at the opposite end of a Tunze 6060 and it seems to like it even with its polyps pinned back :razz:

Christy's right, most LPS corals require and also prefer moderate to light flow. With soft delicate tissue, these corals tend to open up more in a gentle breeze rather than a storm :biggrin:

Mine likes moderate flow...just enought to make his tentacles sway in the current!!!
