simply put, you have to have flow. some coral's can handle more than other's so some research is best before you purchase them. if they are getting blasted so to speak then they may not open. as far as your clown's they will ajust

Yea, dont worry too much about fish, if they get hit by the jets they always find calm spots in the water.
The other part is play around with your jets, find a stream that wont aggravate your corals. Like Mesh said, they wont open up if they have too much flow so you can use that as a short term indicator. if they start to close, too much flow for that coral, move him, change the flow, or flow direction

In a 30 gallon tank, you should have one powerhead running 24/7. Fish will be fine.

Flow is very necessary in your tank. The fish can adjust but your corals need current or flow.

I think you'll find that the clown will get used to the flow, and you'll probably find him playing in the current as well. My clowns love to ride the current.

I wouldn't consider a goni a simple coral but okay.It does seem like you are low on flow.I would add another one on opposite ends.The clown will be fine.

My clowns like to swim right in front of the big powerhead and it shoots them off to the other side of the tank. I'm pretty sure they do it for fun. :)

In a reef tank,you DONT have too much flow until you sand is in suspension.

In my 29G I have a Rio 6hf 365 GPH pump and a Koralia 1 in the back corner pushing water under the rock. The Rio has 2 loc-line outlets creating flow in 2 areas of the main display.
