Too much flow on my hammer coral?
Picked up this hammer coral from my LFS a few days ago and it's been looking pretty good. However, I more recently picked up a 425gph Koralia circulation pump and since adding it I've noticed some of the "arms" are looking a bit noodley/stringy. Is this a form of deficiency or too much flow? Thanks!
BTW, the tank is 29 gallons.

If it where too much flow, the coral would have a tendency to pull in.
Most LPS corals love tons of flow, as long as it is random(not pointed directly at them)

So what would be causing the coral to droop in certain areas then?

+1 It's definitely not too much flow. I wouldn't worry about it. looks happy to me. |
