Is my Ricordea doing alright? Should I move it?

Got my first coral 3 days ago… had him higher up at first until I realized they prefer less light. So the next day i moved him around for a while trying to find a good spot. He was probably pretty stressed out. I settled on this spot in the bottom half of my tank in a bit of shade. I haven’t glued it down yet as I wanted to make sure it was a good spot. I know I probably need to give it more time to know for sure. I’ve seen a lot of people say they put them down in the sand. Should I move it again?? Or is he looking pretty good so far?

It looks better today than yesterday so I suppose I’ll leave it for a while longer

Idk guys…. I took a better picture without the blues on and I feel like the coloring looks off. What do y’all think?

Everyday it seems to relax more and more! He just needed some more time. I am learning patience.
