Just picked up a new Octospawn frag, located in the top right of the pic, and decided to rearrange the pieces in my tank, and this is what I came up with. Im running a stock Biocube 32, and bear in mind the Biocube LEDs are pretty weak. I've had to move most of my coral to at least halfway up to get decent light. Is this still too much light for the Octospawn? It's a higher light piece, correct?

Most corals in the Euphyllia genus like slightly lower light and flow. In a BioCube, you are probably fine. If it starts not to open, move it lower. It's generally best to start these corals near the bottom and gradually move them up higher until you reach its sweet spot, doing it the other way around could shock it.
 
I notice your hammer and your bubble coral are lower. If they are happy at that level, your octospawn probably will be too. I would start it lower, then gradually move up if you prefer the higher placement.
