    Crusty, if the Koralia is your only source of water movement, I'd recommend repositioning the direction of flow if your corals are getting blasted, rather than shutting it off.

    Unlike fish, corals must have ample water movement, or they may quickly die.

    Is your issue that you find them swaying in the current a bit too much?
