pipefish in an sps tank... doable?

I would like to do an all pipefish tank. My concern is only that my acros are gonna need some flow and some turbulent water. Will the Pipefish thrive and survive?

The best way is to create one spot where there is not much flow compared to the rest of the tank and the pipefish will usually find the spot where they feel safe.

Bluestripe pipefish handle DPS tank flows just fine, actually better than many other fish.
