Flow-Medium to Low
Light-Lower 1/3 of the tank usually. Higher is possible but a linage carefully & slowly. Be cautious w LEDs.
Food-Mysis shrimp, cyclops or other small zooplankton, chopped raw table shrimp etc. Don't over feed.
Position: Lower part of tank, ~45 degree angles OK. If kept on sand bed elevate it so the sand is not in contact with coral tissue & make sure it won't get buried in sand. Finding the right spot for permanent mounting on the live rock is best IME as it allows it to expand and grow onto the rock.
Temp: 74-80F

ALK, calcium & magnesium need to be tested and kept at normal reef levels for stony corals. Example: 8dKH, 420 Ca, 1350 mg.
