If you like the color then it is fine. I have been working with this coral for many years and they do just fine in intense light. They get very light green almost white with faint pink tips exactly as shown in your picture. If you want darker colors you can put them under less light. As long as you are seeing the pink tips and a hint of green your are fine. Many folks will call this bleached but they grow and do just fine

It's a low light coral demonstrating stress, so I would move it down.

I've found that mine is happy almost anywhere. I am clumsy, and break frags off frequently. I am almost out of room, so I place the frags where I can. As long as they are getting decent to high light, they do fine.

I have some high up under 250 watt radiums and it looks like yours and i dont feel like moving it lol. I also have a piece under t5's and it has alot more green/purple in it. It should be under lower lighting imo.

It looks fuzzy so I wouldn't say stressed. Mine is under a 8 bulb t5 powermodule about 1/3 of the way up in the on other outer edges of the tank .
This was a few days ago .Frag was on 4 inch tall rack in the sand for pic / u can see a baby in the background

The second pic is last month
