How much can I keep with HO T5's?

Well, they are staying closed. The Frogspawn has opened up just a little and the hammer is wadded up like a tight fist.

The Frogspawn is about 6" from the surface and the hammer is around 7" from the surface.

put them on the sand bed and see if they open up.
How long are you running the daylights for?

Around 14 hours, I haven't moved any one. I've been to sick to do any thing all week.

I think your corals are getting too much light. When you feel better, I think you should shorten your photo period, raise the light, or move the corals down.
Just my thought.

Ok, guys, give me some general guidelines for what I need:
How much light do I need for these and can I keep all of them with my current setup?
Zoas
mushrooms
frog spawn
Hammer
Torch
Brain
Acan
Dersa clam
The water parameters?
Temps?
Salinity?
