Water Flow Too Rough?

There's plenty of places in the live rock to take refuge from the current but they wont leave the top of the tank. I shut the powerheads down and they swam around a little bit. Could I have too much flow in my tank?

chances are they are captive bred and have been use to feeding off the surface by people while being raised , it does go away as they get older

my clowns have no problem with 4 times that amount of flow. My clowns picked one corner of the tank and almost never leave, I would say they just like that spot.
