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.

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.
