I am seeing conflicting information about where to place this coral. I know they like high flow, but do they like high light? Every tank is different, but where do others on here have theirs? High? Middle? Low? Just really want to retain color on this colony if I can help it.

Thanks in advance.
 
Just use the same advice that you would use for most acros, start'em low and slowly move them up to see what works best for them.
 
It really depends on what you have for lighting in your tank. T5's or Metal halides or something else. It also depends on how high you have your lights above the tank and how deep it is. Start it low in the tank and keep moving it up slowly. You will find the sweet spot.
 
I agree with dougers, sometimes it can be difficult to slowly move a coral bottom to the top, but if you can make it happen, it's the best way!
 
in my experience high light and high flow. but you can always be safe and start at the mid point and work your way up
 
I have found that most green acros love high flow/light. Just acclimate it slowly
