Taken with lights off. What do you think

Looks better as it is waking up and expanding.
Are you going to attach it to your live rock?

That appears to be good enough for now! Being attached and not moving around is underrated for long term coral health reasons, imo.

Here is about mid day. When I bought it was very bleached. It looked like some brown spots that started to be heads maybe got shadowed. It sometimes looks like sand stuck on there and other times maybe a new head.

Looks good to me. Here's mine with lights. When the lights go down, it recedes.

100% I've lost quite a few lps from getting knocked into the sand than buried by my goby pull them out when I notice usually too late and it catches brown jelly

Agree with others on permanent home. Have a frogspawn that was thriving. All I did was rotate it in place 180 degrees and it took months to get back to its former glory.

Looks fine, but definitely get it off the sand asap. Even if you just have the tile resting on top of the sand it is better. The polyps will not be too happy brushing on the sand constantly.
