They prefer moderate PAR levels (50-150 PAR) and moderate water flow to keep detritus from settling on the polyps. Placement on the sandbed or lower rockwork is ideal. While largely photosynthetic, occasional spot feeding with zooplankton or finely crushed flake food can enhance growth and color and is greatly appreciated. Acclimate using a standard drip acclimation procedure over 30-60 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain stable water parameters for optimal health.
