I have mine in a little bit of higher flow and it does great. It's about mid tank. Here's a picture....

as I understand, their native habitat is lagoons where its relativeley calm, slightly turbid and they grow from the substrate

I have mine in the sandbed and its going great-guns.....

Mine has grown about 4 heads that I can see since I got it a month ago. The only problem I have is a vermetid snail on the piece that irritates it... I gotta cut him off
