A couple of things I feel I should include in this post.
I house two Trachs very similar to this.
Keep an eye out for tissue recession. Often specimens get damaged and are very tough to recover. You'll know it has issues if its not inflating.
It should extend a row of feeding tentacles around its outer edge at night. Feed mysis, chopped krill, silversides..basically meaty foods. It should readily except it. I feed both of mine every three days.
If your having issues with it being on your sandbed, you can mount these to rocks. Since you are running a lower lighting range, you shouldnt have any issues mounting this about mid to lower. If you do choose to mount it, make sure there is room for polyp expansion.
Trach's are my favorite coral. The most difficult part of keeping one is finding a healthy fully expanded specimen.
Good luck
