Optimal water flow for bubble coral

Post by FreshBite »

Just added this flintix9t last night and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the flow in the area I've placed it.

The bubbles seem a bit wrinkly, which makes me wonder if it's getting whipped around too much.

Also, I noticed my Torch Coral, which isn't close to it, is retracted today - a few inches away from the new addition. I'm starting to think it might already be bothered by the bubble coral, which I was warned can be aggressive. Or maybe it's just some leftover Coral RX residue that I didn't fully rinse away.

Honestly, the flow looks alright to me. I did a quick search and found this article from Advanced Aquarist that talks about coral placement and flow requirements. It's a bit old, but still relevant - http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/4/corals. Maybe give it a read and see if it helps you troubleshoot the issue with your Torch Coral.
