I have a large elegance coral in a 210 gal long established mixed reef. The AI lighting system is pretty awesome when the schedule is set up. But my elegance coral does not fully bloom as it should. right now I have it placed mid tank. Any ideas?

Pictures and any pars numbers or lighting intensity’s would be helpful
I have the AI Hydra light system with 3 units across the 7’ long x 2’ wide tank. Schedule Is set up to mimic lighting from dawn to dusk then dark after 11 pm. This is my only lps as I have mostly softies and spa. Haven’t seen any livestock picking on it and there is a moderate wave type flow hitting it.

Elegance are very very very sensitive tissue corals. You really gotta watch for too high of light and too much flow.

If it were me I'd put on the bottom where there's hardly any flow whatsoever
