ID Help - want to ensure placement

Picked this encrusting & branching piece - salesperson unsure of what it was.

Not sure where might be best for flow / lighting! Sorry for potato quality image.

Thanks in advance R2R!

Looks like some sort of Austera... similar to a Green Tort.

It can take all of the high quality light that you can give it from T5 or MH. If under LED, then keep the white low or else it can burn from the bad-spectrum... maybe 350 PAR with whites at 20% of your other channels.

Was it laid down on it's side on a frag plug? If not, I would mount it standing up. If so, then I have no idea what to do.

Thanks --
It was fragged on its side and has encrusted over the plug on its side. I have it at top of bottom third near some happy plating montis. LED lights -- not sure of par values.
