Scoly care? I need some advice :)

How do you take care of your scoly?
Obviously stable parameters but feeding and how much? What do you feed?

Mysis fed with turkey baster.

Sweet. I just brought mine home tonight and he had his tentacles out so he ate two big pe mysis. He's only 1.5" or so. He still had them out but I didn't want to overdo it if I wasn't supposed to feed a lot lol
He's sitting on a 3" frag disk.

Mine loves low flow, a bit lower light and a nice variety spectrum. I do not feed it directly very often, but it is a nutrient rich tank.

Quick question, when you say "nutrient rich" do you mean nitrates? or do you mean healthy with pods/critters?

I find my do well in moderate flow with low to moderate lighting. I feed mine at night as they seems to have better long term responses to it.

Thanks everyone :)

High nutrient means lots of everything really. Lots of critters and some detritus and nitrates. Nothing crazy on nitrates, just a bit dirtier than the standard sps system.
