Picked up this frag for about 10 bucks. Does anyone know the name of this acro?

Im also not very well versed in these. I know they're notoriously difficult to keep. I put it high up in the tank under more intense lighting with my hydnophora and in more intense flow. Is this correct? Any other advice with this one? Does this look healthy, or does it look like it's bleaching? I'm just not familiar with how acros are supposed to look.

It almost looks like a bleached Bonsai. The coral next to it isn't doing it any good either.
 
Right. I hopefully have them.far enough apart that the acro won't get stung, but I may move it. Would I be doing this piece best by having it up top in high light?
