I would bump up the percentage of your lighting but not so much that all your LPS end up bleaching, maybe 10% every 2 weeks and see how it does.

which one do you find has better color and growth??

I have been bumping lights up 5% a week

Higher light = better growth for me but I like the look of the green base with the slow transition into red better.

This is what convexa looks like in my tank under a T5 MH mix positioned in the top 1/3 of the tank. As you can see there's not much green and this piece isn't fully colored up yet, it should get a brighter red..
