As long as you have enough light, all mushrooms can thrive (some even in lower lights or in tucked away places in the tank)
I think the key that should be emphasized is acclimation. If you have pretty strong lights start them out low especially if you aren't sure what lights they were under before and slowly move them up from there.
With wild caught yumas .. they can be finicky so high or low light, however your tank is can freak them out so acclimation is key (and even then for some, who knows, they are wacky!) .. eventually over time you can have everything in high light if you take your time and go slow depending on how you wish to have these corals in your tank
Hope that helps
ps- typically the floridas can handle more light right off the bat, perhaps thats a better way of saying it? the'yre pretty tough
