In my experience they need no special attention. I have a chocolate brown with green polyps. It is a slow grower. As far as feeding goes I also have several LPS so when they get fed I imagine if the SPS wants some it's there for them.

Here's mine. It was about the size of a loonie when I got it a year and a half ago. Its now about four inches across. Its always been healthy and had good polyp extension. I don't do anything special for care, except to keep it up high under good light.

The picture is little dark, coral is more yellow in person. I don't feed anything except my 20+ fish.
They tend to reshape them self according to the light and flow, meaning they die off in one area and regrow toward different direction. Interesting to watch.

Grows slower than other sps but no special care needed other than good flow and light. I tried feeding but it doesn't seem to care.

I've had mine for about 5 months now, and it really hasn't grown that much at all. It hasnt even covered the puck that it came on.

I've got my scroll, same colour as the ones shown, under VHOs. Getting pretty good growth and great polyp extensions especially when alk and Ca are taken care of.
