I'm stepping into buying a couple of designer RTBAs

Need advice on

1) Amount of light?
> Mostly blue?
> More white?

2) Amount of flow?
> Very low flow?
> Enough flow to gently move tentacles?
> More flow to get tentacles flopping?

3) What to feed?
> Let it just feed on fish poop?
> Spot feed it a squirt of Mysis?
> Feed it a chunk of shrimp or Silverside?

4) How often to feed?
> Daily?
> Weekly?

Which one may I ask? Oh and I'll let someone more experienced advise you!

So for 1 and 2, I provide the same lighting and intensity as my corals, and the same flow cause they can’t move.
The RBTA will locate itself where it wants, in essence, it will find the light it wants.

Mine seems fine around 100par.
I feed only monthly, a squirt of meaty type and what falls on the nem, or is brought to the nem by the clowns.
