Chalice question

Hey everyone! I've been a longtime member on The Reef Tank and always looked to RC for advice. It seems that TRT has been less active, so I'm migrating over here. Been keeping saltwater tanks for a long time and reefs for probably about 6 years. Currently have a 65g mixed reef. I'll post a thread in the general discussion to show the build. Anyway, below is a question about a chalice that I recently picked up. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I picked up a chalice a couple days ago and have been reading very mixed information on placement. Some need high-moderate light, some need shade. Can anyone with chalice experience offer guidance on whether this is placed in a good location or not?

Below is a FTS so you can see the placement (bottom left). Tank is a 65 gallon with the Current USA Orbit LED fixture (soon to be supplemented with 2 t5's).

Also uploaded pictures of the coral. Does the color look right? It almost looks blotchy to me, but all of these that were in the LFS looked that way, and the larger colony also looked that way. I'm not complaining, I think the colors are really cool but want to make sure it is healthy and happy.

Thanks everyone, I think it is stunning as well and it is at the bottom of the tank. Just want to make sure it isn't unhappy and looks healthy.
 
Chalice question

the location is good
keep it away from other corals because it sting other corals at night
count how many eyes you have now and after few weeks you should get more eyes , that sign it is healthy
