Attach Coral Sideways?

[ChrisKSB]

Is it ok to attach this to a rock pointing kinda sideways instead of pointing straight up?
Also, can anyone tell me the actual name of this?

Sure you can as long as it gets all the light and flow it needs. Sorry I don’t know the name of it.

It looks like a Micromussa lordhowensis

Looks like an acan
Usually I like to attach head up, but like said it’s okay as long as it’s in a good area.
