I got this coral a couple days ago from a fellow reefer. After some research, I believe it is a Turbinaria.
It has started to curl up along the bottom. I’m wondering if this is normal ‘settling in’ behavior, or if it’s unhappy with the placement. It’s getting medium light and low-med flow.

Not tubinaria, it's a cabbage leather.
It looks very healthy and happy, very nice piece you got from your friend.
Medium light and medium flow, you got it.
 
Hmm, maybe. Doesn’t look like my other cabbages, tho.

Here you can see how it’s curling up.

its a "neon green cabbage", specifically, a sinularia coral.

A tubinaria is a hard coral, it will feel like a plate.

Touch it, yours should be soft, like a leather.

Its cabbage which has no definitive shape or pattern. I provide moderate to medium ligt and flow and do add a few drops of iron and manganese weekly
Looks very similar to mine:
