Can you identify what kind of porites (or else) are on this beige Christmas tree rock, their reqiurements (as opposed to the larger polyped brown porites, shown next):

Looking for any information about beige rock porites requirements: it is doing much worse in the same tank with two larger polyped brown Xmas tree rock, which are OK. Especially light exposed part - porites are receding (also snail- , fish- and bristleworms-exposed, flow-exposed part).
Increased amount of micro-food recently, but may be it requires low flow and medium-low light?
