I just changed to LED lighting from T5's. I have a 24 gallon aquapod and the fixture has 12 white and 12 blue 3w bulbs. There are two cords with each controling half the lights. I had 96W of T5 lighting so this is quite a bit more.
My corals, which are LPS, seem to like it except for an open brain which is opeing much less than it used to. Probably does not need so much light. In general the colors really pop and that includes the open brain.
My fish are really confused by this and looks like they will need time to get used to it.
Are there any corals that do better with LED lighting in particular. Any suggestion in general would be appreciated.

Try not to place stressed corals under direct light, some coral does better in in-direct lighting, i had the same thing happen with frags i got from people who had metal halides and t5 lighting, once in my tank with ai leds it was a game of strategic placement.
