What LPS do well in high flow tanks. I assume euphyllia, trach brains, and the other LPS with big polyps are out. I have a caulastrea already and it seems fine. Do favias, acans, and chalices do well.

Don't know about acans, I'd think moderate but the chalices don't seem to care, pagoda's love it, duncans seem to adjust.

Frogspawns enjoy a higher flow, however acans do not

I have found that many of LPS can take high flow as long as it is indirect, and even better, variable.

I had a 55gal tank with about 40x turnover rate with sps, along with an elegance coral, euphyllia, acans, favia, and a fungiia. The fungiia and frogspawn seemed to like the excess flow the least.

My acans hate my high flow mixed reef tank. My chalices seem to do ok with the right placement. Some better than others. The duncuns I have love the flow.
