Picked up a nice 24k bowerbinki this is my first. Looking for advice on placement and lighting

if that fine specimen was mine itd be on the side of a ledge or maybe barely poking out halfway from a partially-shielding ledge where it wont get full blasting of light a couple weeks then can move around.

I would specifically spot feed it with a refrigerated or frozen/thawed reef food vs make it live off indirect tank fare. sustained for about 2 mos. all set.

Thanks I think I am going to move it to a lower light area for now
