    Don't take what I said about bleaching to be too big of a concern, I keep many different types of coral under my T5s such as acros, birdsnests, montis, acans, clams, bubble coral, frogspawn etc. I just wanted to ensure you know that T5s are powerful and just as any light source, your corals need time to adapt to any new light system.
