deep water acro???

i'm seeing more sellers of "deep water acropora". to me: it is just a shallow water acro that settled lower on the reef and adapted its growth to its new envirorment and not a different species. (correct me if i'm wrong) if this is the case i would assume it is largely heterotrophic compared to its swallow water cousins, making it more difficult to keep in a closed reef system. i was thinking of buying one from DD but need more info on its survival rate..has anyone had these corals for more that a year with success?
