Optimal water flow for bubble coral

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.
