Corals placement

I'm finishing repositioning some corals in my tank and still have to put some GSP Leather corals and zoo in the tank.
I have a variety of placememnts for those rocks: high to low flow and high light to lower light areas.
how would you place these corals concerning light and flow?
How about some LPS Euphilia Frogspawn hammer... I know flow should be just enough to keep them moving but shouls I have them in high or medium light?
Tanks lighting is 150 W HQI Double ended 20k MH suplemented with Marine white and Actinic fluorescent lighting
Thanks for any suggestions

i would try to keep them in the general location they were at.too abrupt of a change in light can cook corals.zoos can live near the bottom with medium random flow.frog spawn can tolerate high light if acclimated slowly.gsp will go anywhere and prefers pretty high flow.

agreed, esp. about sudden changes. The [I]Euphyllia[I/] as pointed out can do well in high light, but mine seemed to prefer a more moderate intensity [about 8"~10" below PC lighting]. GSP is incredibly tolerant of nearly anything, but as advised, go slowly if you reposition.
