Looks healthy and is fully open, gently swaying so flow is good. No idea what par it’s at but it is about 6-8” under surface and I have a clip on Coralife LED about another 6” off the surface.
just target fed it some shrimp and it ate it no problem but the tubes are pretty translucent and I’m noticing a bit of white (kind of looks like the inside of a bell pepper) starting to form. Idk I’d I just noticed it now and it’s always been like this or it has been developing this the last few days since I got it

looks fine to me...lower it in your tank if you think it's getting to much light.
Always start Euphyllia on the sand bed and then raise slowly. I have the same frogspawn on the sand bed and one 18 inches up a few inches from the surface. They lower ones are much darker

Alright, I’ll keep an eye over the next few days and see. I’d have to rearrange a Zoa garden a bit if I were to move it down but rather that then have it be unhappy
