So I have now purchased my first corals. I have went thru all the acclimations.
Hollywood Stunner Chalise Coral
Mini max carpet anemone
Ricordea Red Mushrooms
Rasta Zoanthed

should I keep my AI Prime lighting down low and if so for how long? I am running blues this morning. Any suggestions or helpful tips for these Corals are welcome.

Just start them at the bottom of the tank and move them to where you want over the next few weeks. All that you mentioned are pretty easy and hardy.
Top tip for the mini maxi nem, if you want em to stay in one place, put it in a PVC cap. The kind you would cap off a pipe with. They usually stay in the cap and you can put em where you like

He was actually in a tube. But he came out of it and while trying to catch him, he wouldn’t stay in the tube. He would melt right thru it. I ended up putting him on a rock at top. I can tell he is stressed. is It ok to leave him for awhile until he don’t feel as stressed then move him?

The AI Prime should have an acclimation setting you can use. You can ask the person you bought them from about the lighting schedule the coral are used to as well.

These corals come from my LFS. They have also been under AI Primes.
