Acroporas will do best under halide lighting as rubberduck had mentioned. One of the most important needs for them is stability. Temp, alk, lighting cycles etc...stability.
If your tank meets the requirements, the corals themself are not high maintainance, but if you have trouble keeping your trates or pH levels in check then acroporas can be the most sensative to the inconsistancies...
