Noob to chalices!!! help

[ahvrivera]

So i was at the LFS tonight... and found they had some chalices. ive been seeing and reading so much about them that i took the plunge. The prob is i really dont know much about them :tongue:. I thought they were squishy but come to find they are pretty darn hard lol. So my questions are. What they eat, How much flow, how much light?????(placement in the tank).ETC.

unfortunately my camera is out of batteries and cant take really good pics right now. i took some with my phone and in the process of uploading them.(hopefully they come out ok.

They like low light. Mine can take a lot of flow. Some you can feed them and some don't eat. The ones that put out tentacles at night i feed them mysys shrimp. They are LPS corals so they have a skeleton underneath the flesh.
