Ooh that's tough. They really like lower lit areas of the tank best and I would be afraid to put one in the middle under led's.

I acclimated mine by slowly moving it from shade areas to open areas and raised by fixture about 12". Did this over the course of about 5 days.

I put in in the sand for about 3 days and then I moved it up about 1/4 of the way up It is open and seems like it is loving the light
