Flow for frogspawn
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
 ) 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  Christy

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
