Some corals prefer to be placed in higher flows becaus they will filter food from the water column and rely on it moreso than a coral that requires less flow. Some corals can not withstand higher flows, it aggrivates the corals and cause them to close up.

its a guide for the health of the coral.like mushrooms dont need much light and a sps needs alot of light .the filter feeders usually prefer more flow to grab more nutrients out of the water.it is good for them to help list these thing for hobbyists who arent fimiliar with that particular coral.kinda like telling you dont buy a clam if you have 50 watts of compact lighting .
