I ordered a montipora an unfortunately think I killed it, it turned brown. So I put it in 150 ish par to start and medium flow before I order another one where should I put a second one if I order again? I have a par meter and a few options for placement, all other corals LPS and SPS are doing good and growing.

Need more information about your tank as well.
 
brown is not dead, it usually indicates low lighting, or high nutrients, but its not dead and can regain its color. 150 par for monti is too low IMO, would have better results with 250+. Monti's also prefer higher flow
