I would suggest placing them in the tank
... Just kidding. To me, most of them look like more 'low-light' varieties. I would start all of them near the bottom of your tank, and then slowly, over days, a couple weeks move them up a little to where you want them. I have had all of them and eventually almost every coral will tolerate the light where it 'ends up' - if its done slowly enough. If you had a PAR meter (which you can borrow, etc) from an LFS, it would help to know which PAR are at the various levels in your tank.

Running 2 kessil 360s at about 85% peak right now. So 100 at the bed to high 2-300's at top of rocks. Had them in there for a day or so. So far have them all in the substrate.I would suggest placing them in the tank

One thing thats sometimes helpful - is to check with the LFS where you're buying the coral - as to which type of light they use - and what 'settings' and 'PAR' they run at. For example - the store I buy my coral happens to use Radions at a certain setting. I have radions - so I merely match my pattern to the one they use and place the coral in a place that matches as closely as possible.

I'm not as particular as others. I contacted the guy who I purchased a nem from and just said put a $200 package together, nothing pink or green
