Picked up on of these from the LFS. It looked really healthy and had been there a few weeks. What should I know about these in order to keep it growing and healthy. It's in the shady side of the tank with moderate flow. It already seems to be opening up.

Currently I'm feeding the tank: "Fuel, Mysis, Live Brine & ZooPlex. Obviously not everyday and I change it up so it gets a mix of food.Will these foods suffice? Or do I need something else? Any help would be great.
 
Dendronepthea sp. require good flow, and target feeding -Zooplex, oyster eggs, Phyto-Feast, Nutramar Ova, cyclopeeze ....
 
Wish the LFS would have told me about how hard they are to keep and the round the clock feedings.. if I had know I would not have gotten it. It's pretty, but if they really are that hard to keep they really belong in the ocean, not a aquarium.. IMO Certain people could have them.. just not hobbists like me. I will give it a go, but I don;t want to have a coral that is that high maintenance. 2 feedings a day is all I have in me.
