Mine do well in medium flow, I feed them three times a week mysis and there growth rate varies on type of lighting (i keep mine under 250W Halides), water conditions, and feeding schedule.

Mine seem to do best with less light (away from direct MH). I feed mysis shrimp weekly. Growth rate seems to vary. I can't figure out exactly why they grow like crazy for a couple of months and then do dormant. I have mine in strong current and no current and they do the same. Basically mine double yearly.

Give them low flow and they will expand better. You will see the feeder tenticles come out shortly after the lights go out. Its amazing how they will grab on the mysis shrimp and eat it, but keep the cleaner shrimp and anything else that would try to take the food from them.
