Red dragon question

[SamMule]

I have my Red dragon acro high in my tank, but towards the back, so the light isn't overly intense. It is growing well for the most part, but due to its high location, is exposed during water changes and is always stressed for a couple of days after.
Should I move it lower to stop these stress events? Or will it be ok? They say it's a deep water acro, so not sure air exposure is "natural".
