Orange Acan for $40?

I just got an Orange Acan frag for $40. It has at least 20+ polyps. I lucked out because I ordered a Red Blastomussa and it didn't look good when they went to bag it so they gave me the Acan instead. Anyway, it was a surprise so I didn't have time to research the coral much. I have it located on the sand bed. What is the best way/food to feed it? How fast does this coral normally grow?

Here is a pic a few hours after I put it in...

I'll give you $45 for it. :D

You don't really need to feed it, but if you want to, turn off the pumps a little after lights out and drop some mysis on it. After a week or two of that, it'll start to send out its tentacles all the time with the lights on.
 
Nice piece, watch what's nearby with this kind, mine has eaten two brains placed a little too close, I give it several inches of space now or placement by stuff I don't like, it didn't seem interested in clove polyps right next to it.
