I agree with the post above. They like medium flow and light. Spot feed them once and a while and it will do fine.

i have 300 W of VHO, should i put them in shade?

No, just set it on the bottom of your tank. I have 250 mh and it seems happy enough with a 20 inch depth. It has feeder extension at night---it can reach over and devastate another coral with stinging cells, if it's in range. Give it about 4-6 inches around it until you know its reach. (Big ones have a big reach.) It won't hurt fish, just other corals.

i got it at scotts, they have had 3 healthy specimens and one so-so neon green bublle. The green was the most expensive at 50 but it was around 5 in in length. they also have a huge pearly bubble (pimple bubble?) for 40
i couldnt decide between the two but went for the normal bubble and a smaller size.
