Cyphastrea and (I believe) pocillopora. The cyphastrea likes lower light, correct? How about the latter? These are my first frags of both of those types, so any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I have two cyphastrea, one that is in high light, one in low; not sure if it varies from one kind to the next or if it's simply a process of acclimation to more or less intense light. Pocillopora are generally medium to high light and medium flow. Wouldn't hurt to put both in the sandbed for a day or two to adjust to your chemistry, then place them according to flow/light.
 
Cyphastrea, mid to low light not lower than about 80 par, medium flow as well.
Pocillopora, mid to high light medium to high flow as well.
