Picked up this coral, but unsure of what it is or how to figure out how to take care of it or where it should be in our tank. Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like a pipe organ to me. Completely closed up. Here is mine opened.

To answer your questions, mine has been at all levels and seems to do best for me up high and it likes good flow. . How long have you had it? Mine will close up overnight on occasion, but not every night.

Less than 24 hours.
 
Also, there are a lot of hiding places for hitchhikers in there! I had a few brittle stars in mine. Fortunately nothing worse, it was the first coral I added and I didn't dip it.
 
Hopefully you'll start to see some extension In a day or two. I see some very small polyps that look like new growth so that might be a good sign. At full extension, it'll be massive!
