Moderate flow, moderate light and work from there. A lot depends on where it was in the tank from the person you got it from.
Mother colony was center of display about mid level frag was on the bottom. I put it on the bottom when I first put it in the tank and it started to open but decided to move it higher. I'll until its happy with the flow and light im not going to make its location "permanent".

Mine grew like stink on a monkey when I had it up high under a halide and in high flow, BUT, the color suffered. Much better coloration down low.
Best coloration you'll see on a TT is under compact fluorescents, but most people don't run em anymore.

Feed it shrimp every other day and it will grow quickly. Try to get them as close to the mouth as possible and it will take it. I turned 1 head into 30 in 6 months before I turned it in to ARC a few years ago.

Regular shrimp from wegmans. Thaw them and place tiny pieces near the mouth.

well not to be harsh,but a large amount of people that buy the TT have the deep pockets to spend on it,but not the skills to keep them alive..

They grow really well in some tanks and crash and burn in other tanks. I know a couple people who have killed them.

I totally agree with that statement. Usually the new reefers aim for the tt right out of the gate.
I have neither deep pockets or a vast array of knowledge. That's why I'm asking so many questions and appreciate what help people have given. I started with simple Kenya and mushrooms went to gsp, picked up a rose bubble tip and have had that for a month and a half and it has doubled in size. Now I have frog and a tt. Slow gradual progression.

It will be fine, feed it once a week since you have a small tank (dont wanna deal with cyano/algae issues. Ive seen it do well when everything else was dying.
