Guys, I'm back with more questions on the same zoas. How much flow is too much flow? I moved one set of zoas I thought weren't happy to see how things reacted. So far I think they are doing a little better. But the set that I thought was happy is refusing to open 100% and even when they open is not all the way. They were looking so good I actually attached them to the rock. I guess thats Murphy's law. Cause now they aren't responding well. Could that be flow? Should I look for a low flow area? Should I look for a shaded area that doesn't get direct light? What are recommended locations for zoas that have worked well for yours?

I have a pretty good flow in my tank. Might be tricky to locate a low flow area. But I think I can find some tight spots to wedge some polyps into.
