How important is Water Flow to Zoa and Polyp growth

 

I think they'll "generally" grow a little faster in moderate/medium flow as apposed to little/no flow.

 

But it really is a species to species difference, you've just got to experiment with um.

 

Length of polyp stalk & polyp skirt length are said to have some relationship to the ideal care for a specific polyp.

 

i.e.- very long stalk, probably less flow that a polyp with short stalk.

 

but again...that approach isn't 100% correct.

 

Trial and error are the best approach.

 

Good luck!
