So these corals seem to be taking off and I want to get them in a good place in the tank. Any recomendations. Right now they are in the middle of the tank.

Looks like an acan and then blasto in second pic. Lower light and lower flow and both will benefit greatly from feedings of mysis or other frozen/meaty foods.
 
If that’s where they are happy. Why move them?
 
I keep both my blasto and my acan in the bottom 3rd of my tank
 
I want to move them because I want them to be happiest and keep good color. the Acan started turning brown. And interesting thing I dropped it in the sand for a week or so by accident and green started coming out around the new growth. I only moved it because it was getting covered with sand. Oh yeah it's a pig. I feed it mysis and by the time I am done feeding other corals it had more tentacles out to take in more mysis...and it still ate more..from the same polyp!!! Can you over feed a coral?

Yes and no. What ever they don’t want they will spit back out.

Only real risk in overfeeding is polluting the tank. Corals will spit out any any piece too big or undigested parts. Also can be a problem if you feed too much, as some hangs out of the mouth and then the food is easily stolen by hermits shrimp and fish
