Do - buy a few books on corals or read the stickies on RC. Don't move them (any corals really) too much, and enjoy watching them grow.

Books were the best investment I made in this hobby by far. I would suggest picking up one or two and just perusing though them when you are watching the tank and relaxing. They will answer most of your questions. And give you information on ones that you haven't even thought of asking yet.

Low in the tank is usually best. Chalices are flat in order to collect light in a natural reef so placing them too high can bleach them. Often low flow is preferred by them too. A couple books that come to mind are Aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman and Corals: A Quick Reference Guide by Julian Sprung. Both great tomes. They aren' cheap but well worth the investment.
