No kidding! I wonder why I can keep this one & not any others?

The yumas have been fighting with the hair algae for awhile. I just got a dozen turbos, so hopefully the hair algae will be removed.
Does anyone know how to move the yumas to a different rock? I have 4-5 on the top of a rock, and one on the bottom. It is almost impossible to position the rock so that they all get light. Can I just move the one on the bottom?

Long Due Update:
I have had some trouble with a few corals, and I have had success with others. The big problem is with softies. Hair algae took out most of the mushrooms and most of the zoos. I gave the zoos to a friend so that his fish could eat away the algae. Also, some SPS corals have gained color, while others are loosing it. I also got four new corals that are doing very well.
Bubble Coral:
Open Brain Coral:
Long Tentacle Plate Coral:
Brain Coral
If I could get my camera to work well, I would show you a picture of the brain under my blacklight, but it doesn't show up very well.
Any advice on the problems with softies/SPS would be helpful. Parameters are good except for phosphates, which I am reducing with a phosphate reactor. Could it be too little flow or light?

In case you are wondering, the open brain coral is very healthy. It is a very rare color variation.
