    Those are palys... and if you got those instead of yellow polyps.. you made out like a fat kid at thanksgiving.. yellow polyps will take over your tank and are generally much cheaper than palys.

    They are very easy to care for and you should be fine with the lights with you have.If they start to look unhappy jack them up in the tank a bit and that should help...

    A lot of them started to die off guys! Half are doing great. I did end up rearranging some of my live rock to put them closer to mid level. I'm hoping it'll work.
