low in the tank, preferably on the substrate, light flow, with its color it needs medium lighting and it will benefit from the occasional feeding of small meaty foods.

Thanks JetCat USA

I have it placed about 1/2 way up in the display ( 50 gal ) on a rock platform, under a Solaris 250 w. So far the color has been great, & polyp extension at night is something to see. I target feed it some Mysis shrimp 2 X a week. Anything else you would recommend for feeding ?

Thanks Again for the reply

the Mysis will be fine but when they expand they can balloon out a good bit at times and if you have it on rock work it can actually damage its self when expanding.

Would it eventually spread to the LR
