Are T5's too much for monti?

[finless]

I just recently added more T5's to my tank. (6 total)
Is it too much for my montis? They are newly introduced frags as well. They were high to mid in a 20" tall cube.
I noticed a little receeding today. No signs of bugs
I really want to keep my firengine monti and pokerstar monti.

Nope... too much light, won't be able to keep em' Send them to me...

...or you could move them lower in your tank

I have had them thrive 8" undersurface under 250 mh. What they don't like is high kh, imho. Or change, like any other coral.

most of my encrusting montis like intense light. ie I have my pokerstar 4 inches below the surface under 250se halides. could it be a flow issue? Or what were they under when you bought them??

I bought them from reefready.net. a little pricy.
For flow I've got a ehiem 600gph return
a quietone 3000 i think its over 700gph on a closed loop
and a Tunze nano 600ghp
It's a freakin storm in there.
I think reefready has theres under 400wMH
The firengine is the worst and my favorite I did see a few black dots on it. Is it bugs or somthing else? the black dots are no where near the part that is gone.

The orange monti setosa is growing over where it was cut for fraging it was purchased at the same time.
