Red/Orange Montipora Nodosa

[Medicine Man]

Just received a Red/Orange Montipora Nodosa and was wondering where the final placement should be to bring out the color/polyp extension? Right now it is kind of a drab light orange color. It is currently placed in the middle of the tank (after 1 week on bottom) under 250 watt XM 10K MH and VHO Actinics. Most of the info that I have found is conflicting. Says medium light, high flow and then Strong light, medium flow. Thanks for any help!

Looks beautiful! I will try and place it a little lower and see if I get better polyp extension and color. Thanks for the help!
