Looks like Stylophora pistillata. Salty is right, they can handle a lot of different conditions.

It should look fluffy and the color deep if it's happy.
It will look great.
Yea it does. Consider what it's gone through. You and I would look stressed too.
It's whyball the old timers and common wisdom say to put them on the bottom in a Lower flow and light area. Like us being pulled under water held there. Put in a bag of stale air then put in the Sahara desert or downtown Los Angeles. Also a corals guts are kinda on the outside. So chemical changes are hard. Imagine if we phically ate pollution in los angels as well as breathed the air.
So by setting the frags on the bottom it allows them time to go to go into and come out of shock basicly. Its because the metabolisim slows down with less light and flow. Because both are how they eat and breathe.
