I got this coral a couple days ago from a fellow reefer. After some research, I believe it is a Turbinaria.
It has started to curl up along the bottom. I’m wondering if this is normal ‘settling in’ behavior, or if it’s unhappy with the placement. It’s getting medium light and low-med flow.

its a "neon green cabbage", specifically, a sinularia coral.

A tubinaria is a hard coral, it will feel like a plate.

Touch it, yours should be soft, like a leather.

Its cabbage which has no definitive shape or pattern. I provide moderate to medium ligt and flow and do add a few drops of iron and manganese weekly
Looks very similar to mine:
