I can only speak from my own experiences. But mine seems to prefer moderate flow, definitely indirect. Lighting...well, I think it can tolerate all kinds of lighting, but as others have said, would probably have to be acclimated slowly to strong lighting.

Give it time to get used to its new environment. Give it some moderate, indirect flow and let it be.

mine extends it's polyps the fullest in the lower region of my tank underneath my powerheads. Located about 10" below the power heads, where the flow is indirect. They're a seio 1500 and 1100 in my 120g. Hope that helps if you're looking for a more descriptive suggestion of where to put them. Also whenever they've had to be moved, they don't really extend their polyps for a few days. Like everyone else says, give 'em a bit of time and they'll get used to the tank. If you find a good spot, maybe describe where your's are located so I have more ideas on where mine could possibly do well (when I frag it in the future).
