Where should it be placed? How high? How much flow? How ofter should I feed it?
Thank you

With t-5's as I see in your profile...you should be able to place it anywhere...it likes medium flow...not blowing over...just a sway...and it eats what floats around..LOL....I don't feed mine anything extra.....

I bought Kent marine ChromaPlex and was told to feed the HC 1-2x per week. I really want it to get big being my first coral like this. Anything I can do besides good water conditions to make him grow like crazy?
Thank you

I've basically put mine right in the middle of my tank in the sand. It's opening up now and looking good. I just really want to keep it alive, it's so dang cool. I've got a gentle breeze on it that is moving all the tentacles just enough. Do you think if I feed it, it's size will increase more than without feeding it?

I don't feed mine and it is growing on it's own...I guess someone who feeds theirs will have to answer that one.....

So I've put mine in the sand for now. Should I place it higher or is it ok where it is? I have T5 Lights 216w total 2x PC and 2x Actinic. It also has a main stock in the a smaller stock that is branching about 1/3 to the bottom. Can I just cut it off and place it somewhere else?
