Mine like it up top, with plenty of random flow. I would start any new coral lower down and then raise it up.

Mine seem to like alot of light and alot of flow. The more the better.

Always a good idea to aclimate new ones. How long? For me it's depending on how much light it was getting where it came from.

kk, i got it the same day it arrived so I dont know the light it had over there.

as for the type, A. milles always come in a bushy style?

Not knowing where it came from. Just to be safe I would start lower and move it up into higher light in maybe a 1-2 week period.

Not sure what you mean by "bushy style" ? The PE on milles I would call bushy.
The growth form always starts out with some upward branches and then spreads out into a thick table.
