Tube Zoanthids or "Snake Corals"

[TriggerThis]

I went to a frag swap yesterday and picked this dude up!

It's a Neon Green Tube Zoanthid.
Usually they're brown but this one is actually that green.

My question is what does it need to survive and reproduce in my tank?
I bought it Bc I've never seen one before and it's stunning.
I can't find any info on them anywhere as far as care requirements go.
Mainly what I'm needing to know is if I need to spot feed it all the time or is it also photosynthetic on the stalk?
Thanks for any info

They're like any other coral. I have a few in my tank and don't require any special treatment. At night the open like a flower.

Mine are not super pretty, but I got a picture of one open this morning. I tried last night when a different one was extended, but it closed before I grabbed my camera. Apparently any light freaks them out.

They are finally fully acclimated to my quarantine tank. A new head is starting to grow. By day they fans are hidden and the tubes bent down. After 30 mins or so in dark the tubes stand up and fans come out. I turned on the lights at night to get this picture. After 30 seconds of exposure to light the fan retracts in rhythmic pulses. It is neat to see.

PS: When I got them, they were all red colored. Now all but one glow bright green in blue light .
