Would this harm my 5 types of photosynthic gorgonian corals? Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance!

i leave them out of water for extended periods of time while im fragging them. If its more that 5 minutes, give them a splash every now and then to keep them wet, otherwise they'll be fine, i drain my displays 100% on a regular basis
