I used to have a dead goniopora rock that I use as base rock. One day the base rock came back to life with goniopora sticking out of top half of the rock. They continued to thrive by extending to neighboring LR.
When I discovered the goniopora came back to life, it was positioned in the corner receiving moderate light. I started feeding it by stirring up detritus from the sand bed and it continually to thrive until I ripped the tank apart and sell everything to LFS.
You will never know, maybe it will do well in your tank. Good luck to you.
