Acropora positioning

So today I received a beautiful fiji acropora from the divers den. I know they require moderate to high lighting and moderate flow or at least I was told this. I have it placed near a montipora danae will this be a problem?
 
it went from x to y then to u which is z . Let it settle out on the sand bed or close to it for at least a week in low to mid flow . If things look good then you can start moving it up . It would help to know what kind of lights you are using ?
 
Sorry, I have a 75g tank with 4x54w deepblue he t5 using geis/ati combo for bulbs. Tomorrow I am upgrading to ati powermodule 6x54w tho. So after it settles in, will the acro and monti bother each other? It was more about that than if my tank can sustain the coral, I am confident that it can with no problems.
 
A little more info on my setup. Its been an up and running saltwater tank for 4+ years for about 3 years of that it was FOWLR and about a year and a half ago I purchased it and turned it into a reef. The tank is fully cycled and very mature, have a healthy pod population and I do 20-25% wc every 2-3 weeks. I use RODI water, and reef crystals mixed to 1.026 salinity measured for now with a hydrometer(refract is on the way) I only add two things to my tank which are both from brightwell aquatics Microvore, and Liquid Reef. I have a couple of sps thriving a green monti digi(ora from divers den) and a purple and yellow monti danae(ora). The digi has two new growth tips after about 5 weeks in my tank that are 1/2 inch+ each and the danae has great color but no noticable growth yet. The acro I got is an ORA from the divers den and its a beautiful specimen will get pics soon, I have it currently placed next to my monti danae and wanted to make sure they wouldnt harm each other in anyway. If there is anything else you'd like to know about my setup just ask, I want to make sure I have all the info I can to keep these beautiful corals thriving.

Sorry for all the posts, after doing some more reading on my own I found that having sps near each other can cause them to harm each other, so I moved the acro to the sandbed for now until I can rearrange a pillar for it. I also discovered the "super macro" setting on my camera and actually got some good pics(at least for my camera skills). I tried the regular macro setting with not too much luck but this actually came out clear.
