Have this Acro in my tank, which is not really striving (while all others do great). Any idea what ID it is, and if it has special needs? Thanks!

Looks like an Acropora granulosa of some kind. Can be finicky. I've found them to prefer moderate light and flow compared to my other acros
 
The right side of the colony looks like a Acropora loripes to me. Regardless, it looks pretty unhappy.
 
Thanks a lot for the opinions so far! Unfortunately, after googling some pictures, I think it could be both A. granulosa or A. lopripes. Since the requirements seem to diverge quite a bit, I would be grateful for more opinions. Many thanks!
