    I would have it more to the top of the water line (the powerhead that it) and try to direct away from anything direct.

    But like Gary says not looking too stressed.

    Re: Leather Coral

    Hi gary im using what my LFS advised.

    Rotifers
    A marine mix

    Supliments

    Salifert natural iodine
    Salifert all in one for calcium strontium and trace elements

    Timo the powerhead has an attachment on it which spinns and changes the flow in a circular motion and is not blowing that hard.

    Should be ok then, your best off just letting it be for a while and keep an eye on your PH just make sure its above 8.2 bud.

    test your magnesium levels. my leathers sulk if its too low. or mabe minor trace elements, i have had very good results with TMC A Elements and K Elements. your coral looks ok though some of mine dont open for days on end.
