Do these guys mind High Flow?---Plus Lower Light SPS's

[110galreef]

I believe this is a galaxea?

I have a high flow area in the tank and want to fill it w/ some stuff?

ALSO

What would be some good SPS that require not a LOT of light as this spot is ~18" down in the tank under 250W MH's

Thanks

a lot of the deep water acros prefer lower light. A. simplex. a Green Bali slimer can handle some pretty low light also.

LPS tend to like less flow than SPS, not that is not to say that we are even getting close the the amount of flow that they can really handle. that coral can take a fair amount of flow no problem. it should not however be placed directly in line with a PH or any other small nozzled water pusher. they do not take kindly to high velocity flows.

That thing has some very cool tentacles. I would think that the coral would need some space around it and other corals.

I plan to put him in an area that will see flow from a nozzle that is probably 25" away that bounces of the front of the tank! It creates some good flow, but definitly no power direct crazy flow! Or some of the lower light SPS's you mentioned as well!
