Is there a such thing as too much flow for a acropora coral?

I glued it to a rock and now it seems I should have moved it back more. It's pretty close to the korelia power head. So should I break it back off? Or will it be fine?

Yes, you can have too much flow. I would watch the polyp extension and decide based on that. Too much flow and the polyps stay retracted.

 

If it's way too much flow, it will slowly start losing tissue on the side with the highest current.

You will be surprised how much flow acros can take! In my experience strong flow is okay as long as it is indirect flow.... Just make sure its not getting blasted directly
