They will be fine at that par. They will move if not happy

Yessir. Mainly by way of detaching and floating around until they are happy.
They are little anemones essentially.

You can spot feed them reefroids and a like type powdered foods for corals.
They dont eat meaty things like nems do.

I have my rhodactis in similar par and they are very happy. I target feed them once a week a light dusting of reef roids.

They can take serious amount of light, dont worry.....

All it take time to acclimate, in that time they can move, or more often (in my case at least) just stay smaller, but, when they explode..... Its unstoppable
