Anyone with experience keeping these? What do you feed them, flow, lighting preference/tolerance or anything else you can say about their care?

Are the "fraggable?"

I had this species in the past and it was under t5's and it grew considerably. I also fed it every other day with frozen rotifers. Mine seemed to like areas in the tank with turbulent flow. Like you found out, they're very easily fragged. Just make sure you strip all the tissue down to the gorgonin skeleton.
