will too much flow around a finger leather negatively effect it?i know they do not require a lot of flow....but wonder if it will actually hurt it if it has too much flow

yes too much flow will cause it to stay retracted, and eventually the coral will die if it doesnt let go first.

even with thopse three power heads I'm sure there is someplace in your tank that has moderate flow, they dont mind decent flow they just cant take blasting current. they will adapt to medium/medium high flows.

well i will give it a few days and hope that it will work out its problems....if it still isn't popping out its polyps then i will try to move it...there is a lot of flow in there to be honest i don't know where there is a place with decent light and lower flow
