What can anyone tell me about this coral? Based on my limited research it could be Acropora carduus, but information I've found is either contradictory (needs high light or is a deep water coral and is fine in medium light) or sparse. I have an XR 15 blue and was planning to keep it near the top after acclimating.

The majority, virtually all, of this type of coral I have seen in the wild are well within shallow, 20-30 ft., lagoons with more turbid waters. This would lend to the likelihood they are more prone to need meduim light and moderate flow. FWIW.
