LPS coral green daisy

[Fish Rookie]

I have a green daisy coral (large piece) 6 inches across just added a 150 watt halide coral is 10 inches below water line only half the polyps are out is it to close to light. Should I move it down it has good flow and is fed minerals and photoplanktyon.

It's called Alveopora.
Might be a bit close to the light, especially if it's new to the aquarium. I'd put it closer to/on the bottom in a low/moderate flow region; these corals do not prefer to be anywhere near blasted by strong current. Not strong long term survival rates with these guys in captivity. Good luck.
