I got a brain coral.It is an open brain I have it on the sand and just wanted to know how much flow it needed.
Here is a pic:

OK the thing is I have a 1050 koralia pointed acroos the tank the long way, it hits the glass and goes down towards the sand right near the brain. (pic of that below, top right hand corner is the powerhead and bottom left is were the brain is):

If really low flow area here is a pic of a spot I can move stuff around:

Is that a linar wrasse I see?
If so good luck with that one... it will start flipping the brain eventually..
To amswer your question, you don't need too much flow for brain definitely not a direct current towards it.
Is that slightly bleached? Looks almost too light in color.

No it is a melanurus and a mystery which both have been well behaved, I changed the flow a little bit so its getting inbetween low and medium flow and I think it was a little bleached but it is definatley getting more color on it and that was a pic of like 3 minutes after it got in the tank but it is puffed up a little bit like normal size so thats good.
