Define "adjust to flow"..? Corals sensitivity to water movement is basically built into how they are constructed. A high intensity flow might not give it a chance to capture food, and it might irritate the polyps. Id say, and I am in no means an expert, that corals can "adjust" to a wide array of flows, as long as it can feed and as long as it is not irritated. If the polyps on your coral are retracted and it is constantly looking like it does after lights out, it might be getting too much flow. As for the kenya tree, I have found that those kinds of corals (kenya, colt etc) are pretty tolerable of difference amounts of flow. I would be more worried about providing not enough flow rather than too much. I haven't seen your tank though and if it is looking like a Palm tree in hawaii during a typhoon, you might need to tone it down a bit.
