Require moderate lighting and low-moderate flow. VHO, T-5, PC lighting should work well. They will also respond well to feeding. Mine is doing well under 440 watts of VHO in a 90 gallon placed where the flow doesn't blow the tissue too much, the only problem that I have had is when a copperband butterfly thought it tasted good the cbb is now gone and the coral is recovering.

They are very hardy corals. You'll fall in love with yours. Mine was accidentally sucked into a drain tube while upgrading my tank, and recovered beautifully.

Mine does seem to prefer low flow to where the flesh moves just a bit but is not blowing around. It's under 250W halides, and doesn't seem to mind the bright light, although I keep it on the end of my tank where there's a little less.

Great coral!
