I'm running a 15 with a single additional like you (at alternating flow) and my stylos love it. Birdnest I've never had luck with in general, but I would see how they react. If they have good polyp extension and growth I'd say you're ok.
 
My birdnest have show some small point on his branch and my stylo is new to the tank i don't see a lot of polyp motion but they show extension
 
Ai prime hd not the 16 one here is my settings i get around 150 par where my sps are

Looks like when they were in the frag rack they were a bit closer to the lighting, maybe the decrease in par has something to do with it, or if the location has different flow.
 
Ok they are around 70 par in that area as for the flow they don't get a strong flow
