in high flow they are getting beat up by the current and from what I have seen, they suck the flesh right in to avoid damage - I assume???
Did I miss someting.

High flow and low flow is very relative to the person describing it. High flow to someone who keeps SPS is much stronger than someone who keeps softies. High "SPS type" flow would make a Euphyllia retract, and would make it recede if it's prolonged. If the flow is just a bit higher than the Euphyllia would prefer, then it "often" tends to send out sweepers. Brain corals and Galaxea corals do that as well. Put them in flow that is higher than they like, and it's sweeper central.

Definately not the flow then, they are at war. Put some space between them, and run some fresh carbon to help absorb the chemicals they are releasing into the water.
