Tree Coral Placement!

Hi All! Since I have my dual 175MH 10,000k on my tank, I have cut back on number of hours they are being used but the tree coral(capnella) was closing up.
So with my limited knowledge, I moved it down and put the base of the coral underneath the large ledge I have in the reef and I believe the coral really enjoys it there! It has been there for about 3 days now. Here is a pic of the coral now:

Excellent placement. The base likes to be in the shade. The tree part likes medium light. The green now should come out with a hint of brown on the polyps.

Good idea Johnny. it seems to like it thier. usually they are very easy to see if they dont like something (they shrivel) I would say hes a happy camper.
