Is my my coral too stretch up.
I’m not sure if I need to put it higher to get more light?
Or just good and I am delirious?

Fwiw the Zoanthids look pretty good.

Sorry I don’t have anything yet to measure the intensity neither the fixture, but I would like to know if is there anyway to know if he needs more light only by just liking how stretched are the polyps.

He meant what model light are you running today, and what % are the lights set at.

I am not familiar with the AI Blade settings but it does look like you have some room to increase the intensity over the day.
I think you should seek the program settings for the Blade from other users with the same fixture.
You should include how high the light is mounted above the water line, and the depth/distance of the coral from the fixture.
