most people keep them on the bottom of the tank..sand bed area.. low to medium flow... and you can spot feed them if you want . lighting t5's or halides.

moderate light and slow to moderate current. try to target feed at least once a week will make it happy. brineshrimp, mysis shrimp or even pellets.

Agreed with the others. Spot feed couple times a week. In my findings, some will eat and other won't. Low flow and at the bottom like others posted.
