Mycedium care

mildew

I have a Mycedium robokaki frag that is acclimating on the bottom of my tank. I think it looks good, but don't really know what it should look like. So far I haven't seen any sweeper/tentacles. Don't even know if it has them. Does it eat? Do I feed it, when day/night, and what? I fully realize I should have answered these questions before getting it. I plan to mount it vertically on a rock about mid-way up in the tank. Can't control my impulses.
 
Ive had my Mycedium for a couple years now- while Ive seen feeders out at night (though not as frequently as most of my corals) I have never seen it develop any kind of sweeper. I have Echinopora and Echinophyllia that do, but never the Mycedium.

Once in a while I will feed my some Mysis or Cyclopeeze at night when the tentacles are open. Ive moved it around a few times over the years, and while it never grows Fast, it seems to do best under moderately strong light with fairly strong water movement (its currently about 12" below a 250wt SE halide, right down the rock wall from a return port).
 
I've had mine about 5 months or so. It does extend tentacles at night almost as much as the echinos I have. Short sweepers (inch or so)
 
Turned off all water circulation tonight and covered it with mysis and most of it stuck so obviously it eats. Thanks for helping out.
