Hello everyone,
Now that I have "beat" dinos, and my zoanthids are starting to grow a lot, I have been wanting to add more corals.
A while ago I made this whole list of corals that I wanted etc etc, but sadly corals are quite expensive here, and the only place I can get them from is from an online store.

Yesterday I found 3 corals for a great price only 10 minutes away from me, which I am picking up tomorrow. I have read a lot about them, but I would still love some input on where I should place them.

The corals:
Red Acanthastrea
Meteor Shower Cyphastrea
Ricordea Florida Yellow

My tank (the rock with paly's is gone and these are old pictures as I am not currently at home):

I would put the meteor shower somewhere that it won't grow onto other corals. It doesn't need much light or flow. grows like a weed.

the red acan, up to you. they don't need a ton of light as well.

Really, all of them are able to grow with medium to low light and not too demanding. I would aim for the bottom half of your tank for sure.
 
All the corals you mentioned will grow under pretty much under any light. Stay under 400par and you will be fine.
