It will be fine there for the time being as long as it's flesh is above the sand. It should be glued to a rock with super glue (cynoacrilate). Idk how high off the water your light is but either water you'll get the deepest best color out of it not directly under the light but a few inches off left or right, 1/4- 3/4 of the way up to the tank. If you see it start to get very light in color or bleach move it lower and/or farther away from the center of focusing lense on the light. Lower flow for sure, you'll get more flesh extension the lower you go in flow and less the higher you go with flow. You can't go wrong with super low flow as long as you don't put it in a dead spot where it gets 0 flow. Just as long as it's getting some no matter how low. Hope this helps! Here's a pictures of mine that started the size of yours just under 2 years ago.

Closest pic I could get that'll give size reference and it still does it no justice. It's the size of a first of an average sized adult.

Just make sure it doesn't tip. Euphyllia are particularly susceptible to sand damage. They can handle a wide range of light and flow, though it can bleach if placed in bright light too quickly.
