Nice, large pieces! Are these maricultetured or wild colonies?
You may want to move that ORA green birdsnest down a bit, it looks to be already lightening up quite a bit. They do not need a lot of light and will bleach out fast. I know from experience with this coral. I thought it looked kind of cool a little more "hi-lighter" fluorescent looking as it bleached; but it's not good for the coral. It should be a rich green color.
here is my old one when it was properly colored:
here it is a few weeks later already bleaching and declining:

3 are maricultured the rest from frags. the birdsnest really isnt as light as the pick makes it look the actinics and blue plus bulbs make it look lighter with no flash on the camera. its not quite as dark as yours, been slowly dropping it trying to see if it likes it a little lower its a foot or so away from the t5s gonna drop it another 2 or three to the next rack down i just built a better system of shelves in my frag tank and am tryin to work out the placement now of the pieces
