Lighting for frogspawn or Hammer. Is it enough?

Little update on the new frogspawn...... The frog has opened up amazingly.........also has possible new heads starting and looks to be about six if I counted right.......funny didn't look like that in the LFS but must like my tank........ Glad I took the leap anyone know any other nice LPS to put in the tank with frogspawn torch and eventually hammer?
In the LFS it was kept under 8 t5 bulbs up towards the top it was small and shrunk in the fleshy part was even tiny. After it got accustom to my tank the flesh swelled up really big and the tips came out full and at the base there are 6 new heads forming which btw are really neat to watch grow. Have a feeling this piece might get big and fast. But so far so good. Looking to get some hammer as well and not sure what else I would like with a YWG and pistol shrimp most corals need to be up because he has so many burrows under rocks it is crazy.

I've seen similar responses in some of the corals I've purchased as well. My LFS tank has a 4bulb T5HO and a Marineland Reef capable LED fixture. It's waaaay more light than I have on my 29g and it's shallower as well.
But for some reason when I took each one of my corals home they all opened up much wider and inflated much more than they ever had at the LFS. I'm thinking their NO3, NO2, trates are high - or are high enough to annoy the corals.

He eats pretty much everything I put in the tank I use PE mysis I also buy omega one pellets small ones. use brine as a treat and the carnivore pack as well. He actually is my oldest fish been in there since the begining. I would recommend a pistol shrimp with him mine never looked happy until I got a great deal on my pistol and since then the colors and his activity have changed if you dont mind small sand storms of course otherwise just go with the YWG.

Trumpets are nice and easy, I've found them to be pretty quick growers as well. It was my first coral and went from one head to probably like 13 or 14 now in just about 6 months.
When I first bought it for like 6 or 7 bucks:
Taken about a month ago, grown more since this:
You were asking about hammers, here is a shot of my green with purple tip hammer with a frogspawn in the background. The hammer is one of my wifes faves, and the clowns love it too.
