I've got mine placed halfway up the tank with moderate flow and feed once a week. Seems to be doing great. liveaquaria.com is always a good place to go for care requirements of all marine life.

Okay, I will be placing it in my 20 gallon breeder tank, somewhat low flow and moderate lighting but will be placed at the bottom of the tank to have it cover a wide area down low to have my sps shown more up top

If you are going to put it on the bottom of the tank try to secure it to a rock or something. Being that sand is not very stable, you don't want to keep propping this thing up over & over again. Find a spot where all of it's needs will be met and just leave it alone.

So were you going to secure it to the bottom of your rock structure somewhere or just let it roll around on the glass? If it's the latter, finding yourself a rock that's about the size of a tennis ball and gluing it to that might be your best bet. The former will also work, just as long as your not fiddling with the coral on a regular basis. They don't like that.

I was gonna secure it to a small flat piece of rock and have it sitting in the bottom front corner
