Does this Elegance coral looks happy to you guys?

I've had this frag for a few months now and it seems pretty tough to please. So far I've never been able to get its tentacles to extend as long as it has when I first seen it at the store, and every now and then I've been moving it around the tank in the hopes to find the "sweet spot" for it in the tank.
So far where its at its looking pretty good. I thought I'd share a couple of pics of it with you all so you guys can chime in and tell me if its happy.
These pics have been taken only about 1 hour after I turned the lights on so its tentacles will be a little longer later in the day, but not my much.

From another angle:

I've read that it likes low flow but not too low. Currently its getting a little bit of indirect flow from a powerhead on the opposite side of the tank and its also under the return flow from the skimmer. I've noticed that when I turn off the skimmer before I feed the tank it will usually deflate itself a little bit... so I'm assuming it likes the skimmer flow and gets a little annoyed when it goes away?
Any insight from the experts will be appreciated!

They only thing I come up with is maybe your lighting is not strong enough to reach bottom. Have you checked your calcium levels? Also are you feeding it anything, once a week a small piece of food?

The light should be enough I would think... you can't see in in the pics but there are a couple of nearby SPS corals not much higher than it and they're happy. Last saturday I tested for calcium and I was only at around 400 so I gave the tank a calcium dose (will test the calcium levels again to see where it is no when I get home from work). As far as feeding goes, every now and then I make sure to target feed it by squirting some chopped mysis over it. I tried giving it krill once but it doesn't hold on to big meaty pieces of food very well.

Looks fine to me. Looks like mine has looked for over 2 years now. They are actually low light corals and they prefer dirtier water as their natural habitat is in sea mud. Try putting in a low flow area slightly under an overhang. Also they need to be placed straight up and down in the sand. I've seen so many people tilt these corals towards the glass. This is a coral best viewed top down.
There are actually 2 different kinds of elegance coral for 2 different locations in the world.

IMO they do not like to be moved around a lot. As for the flow, as opposed to many corals that develop sweeper tentacles when subjected to higher flow areas the elegance will actually shorten up their tentacles when the flow is too strong for their liking. I also feel that there is something in the way they “wave” that may arose the curiosity of fish in the aquarium. It is a good idea to keep an eye out for random nipping .
