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):

here is crevice part of the same rock:

and polyps are extended in the shade, just like usual brown porites:

Sorry for the quality of the last photo - too far from the glass for my camera.
Other Christmas tree rock for comparison:

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?
