Should I Move My SPS's

[PACHY-FAN]

Bought my 1st SPS's bout 3 weeks ago and they seem happy being 22" from an 165 watt LED fixture. Now there on the bottom on the sand. The guy at the LFS said to put them as close as I can to the light. As stated they seem happy on the bottom. He didn't know exactly what kind of SPS's they are.
Question is: should I put them as close as I can to the LEDS.
Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanx

no keep them on the sand and move them closer to the light over a few weeks and stop when you see any negative effects like bleaching or lightening in color. Just a little advice, stop listening to your lfs, they dont have a clue.

Jgalen0025 has a great point. STOP LISTENING TO THEM! lol. I know they're an LFS, though they're not always right. LED's are very powerful lights. If I turn mine all the way up right now, I guarantee I might burn SPS at the bottom of my tank. Let the SPS acclimate to the lightning and adjust its height accordingly to the way it responds.

Thanx for responses. I will try moving slowly up rock work.
Never thought I would get SPS'S.Been an LPS fan for so long.
