Could have alot to do with your tank par. Phos, Nitates, nitrites, alk, calcium, mag. Check all of them before moving it around to much. Your moves should be slow. It could be browning due to change in mass zooxanthellae at one time producing in the coral because of more light.

But yes put it pretty close to the top of the tank with that lighting. Also from what I have read it has tighter optics in the middle of your fixture so you may want to put it there.
