I don't have a video, but my frogspawn/torch (it looks like both), doesn't like direct flow. It lives on my sandbed and gets just enough flow to make the polyps move gently

Well, I have a 75g tank with 2 175 watt MH's and 2 39 watt T5's, and my frogspawn/torch lives on the bottom. Quite happily I might add. The heads split regularly.

I used to have a video somewhere...

Anyhow, I believe they enjoy heavy indirect current.

I use 2 - 250Watt 20K SE Coralvue bulbs on IceCap Electronic ballasts.

When I got the Torch about a year ago it had around 8 heads - it now has around 15 or more... I never directly feed it either.
