Really hard to tell with that pic unfortunately, doesn't even look like a Cyphastrea in that pic. Cyphastrea like low light almost shade in my limited experience with them.

I'll put it on sandbed maybe? I have a evo 13.5 with 18 watts of attinic strips added

You could try the sandbed definitely. How high up is it now in the tank?
Are you sure it's a cyphastrea? Almost looks like a Favia/favites . Probably just the pic and my eyes.

I have a Samsung so the photo isn't great but its meteor shower cychastrea, it was 3 inches high now its shaded and about one, I have 40 watts on the tank so my sanded par is like 175

Ah ok, maybe it's a branching cyphastrea.
Did it look something like this?

Sorry, cant suggest anything else without a better pic. Maybe clean your glass and throw a flashlight on it ? Sometimes works.

Somebody else here would definitely know more than me.
