Feeding tenticals out is positive , mouth closed and not bleaching is positive for the Caribbean ricordea. You can feed each of those corals one small to med size mysis once a week

I feed the favia brine shrimp, when it’s dark. I just turned on the lights when I took this picture. Not sure mysis is but I’m going to look now. Thanks everyone. I want to get more but I don’t want them to die. Starting small. Any other coral you would recommend.

The best thing you can do is what you are doing now. Leave them low in the tank to acclimate to the new water and light. Feeding corals is debatable. I feed mine, but I mix it up. In addition to frozen brine and mysis for the bigger eaters, I also will spot feed Reef Nutrition R.O.E (fish eggs) and encourage the growth phyto & zooplankton for the small polyp and filter feeders.
My absolute favorite beginner coral is Kenya Tree. some folks think it more like a weed (beginner corals are typically fast growers) but they easy to cut back> they also drop "branches" that make new corals that you can either leave be, remove or give away.
Since they are fast growers they help use up the nutrients your fish produce.
My Kenya tree this morning in my 29gal. It's about 2 months in the tank. I like a mixed reef tank to include a few softies that will show off the "flow" with the water movement .
