actually, I have both types that you have.
The one like in the 1st pic, I have to feed mine very regularly. The heads are always hungry and the tentacles are always out for food.
The one like in the 2nd pic, I hardly feed mine with anything. Perhaps, I just quit trying to feed them cuz the tentacles don't come out, but the polyps are growing and spitting.

I have mine under MHs

I moved them to a lower light spots before and they just shrank down so I moved them back to the same old spot and they are back in business.
Some people would disagree on this, but...you know, whatever floats their boats..
