- Placement: Place them in the middle or bottom of the tank, away from intense light sources.

- Salinity: Keep salinity between 1.023-1.025.

- Alkalinity: Keep alkalinity between 8-12 dKH.
- Nitrates and Phosphates: Keep nitrate and phosphate levels as low as possible, ideally below 5 ppm and 0.03 ppm, respectively.

4. Feeding:
-
Photosynthesis:
They are photosynthetic and can absorb food particles directly or move them across their surface to their mouth.
-
Spot Feeding:
Spot feeding with small meaty foods like brine shrimp or mysis shrimp can promote faster growth and brighter colors.
