Thinking of getting the yellow polyps (Parazoanthus) for a pico. Unfortunately, due to their aggressiveness I can't put them on my main rock so I am thinking of putting them in an isolated rock on the side of my tank. This area gets low flow and I was wondering if that's okay for the yellow polyps? Also, will they consume powdered marine fish flakes?
 
I’ve kept them in low flow and lower light. But I think they can handle medium flow and medium light as well. I Never target feed them and they have done well. I do notice they catch flake food every once in a while.
they take over whatever rock they are on, and are a hardy and forgiving coral.

good luck my friend. Happy reefing!
