   Looks happy and healthy. Keep an eye in it for changes such as not extending polyps etc for long periods of time (short is okay, they sometimes do that plus the toadstools shed and will close up while doing so). Growth rate is medium to high, depending on environment/light. Location looks okay, the rock looks bigger than the corals foot. If the foot outgrows the rock, you may need to rethink it (I might be wrong, but I think they are happiest with rock to remain attached to, I have never grown one on sand like you are doing).
   
   In general, the toadstools like medium to bright light and moderate flow. If you have it in that type of environment, it should do fine for you for years. If not, it will let you know it is unhappy... Oh, and they get big. Really big.

Thank you one last question is it normal for this types head to be fluorescent green even though it's brown? And oh yeah it's night time and the polyps are still out is this normal ?

It's normal to have some fluorescing even though it's brown and it's not abnormal to have it stay extended at night, especially when you first get them.

ALso i have grown some in the sand bed because i couldn't get it to stay on a rock, and it did impressivly well even with a puffer using it like a bed/umbrella.. will say they grow faster with a foot attached to something solid and better flow=faster growth because they will shed their slime coat faster
