Candy cane coral lighting question

Hi,
I recently acquired a candy cane coral piece. This is the pale green version that glows under actinics. It is the size of a softball cut in half. I currently have him on the bottom of my 75g tank. I have a T5 fixture with 6 bulbs (4 actinics and 2 are 10,000K) The coral has not "inflated" yet, and I am wondering if this is too much light for this species. I have a neon green frag of 3 heads that seems to love the light and is fully inflated. Anyone have any experience with this species?
Thanks!
 
Probally just give it some more time to get used to its surroundings if the others are doing fine. A lot of LPS does like a bit of shade on them though.
