I got a few new acroporas, what would be the best placement for these?

Acropora Carduus? i am thinking mid light ?
Acropora abrotanoides, high light, strong mixed flow?
Acropora suharsonoi, mid light mixed flow?

any one got any good advice to get good color on these? and keep the color..

I keep a cardus and a suharsonoi right under 250w Evc 10k double ended bulbs. Both are getting about 500 - 600 par.

What about flow?

They are getting lots of indirect flow. Running 2 mp40s at full power in reef crest mode along with another 1600gph powerhead in a 180g tank 6' x 2' x 2'
