at a reef conference yesterday that our club put on I ended up wining 5 coral frags. I hadn't intended to start adding corls just yet to my new tank but I've got them now so I could use some advice ...

I have a gold torch coral as one of the 5 (the others are 2 Zoas,a red chalice & a purple branching duncan) which I know is an LPS. I'm so new to corals that I'm not really sure about the duncan & chalice ...) Anyway, while I'm reseraching them can anyone tell me about the Torch's water flow, lighting & feeding req'ts? My lighting is 2 AI Sol whites, 6 Powerbrite blues & 2 T5 actinics. The tank is 150 gals and will be a mixed reef. Before yesterday it just had 2 barlett anthais, 2 lyre tail jewel anthais, longnose hawkfish, royal gramma & phesudo skunkfish
 
just realized my chalice & branching duncan are both LPS so the same questions apply for them as well. If you just want to point me to a good reference to read up on them that works as well. I don't need to waste everyone's time with the new noob stuff ... thx
