    Yep, those are feeding tentacles. You can feed them anything meaty like brine or mysis. They will grow quicker when spot fed.

    Keep them in low light. They're known for losing color with too much light.

    You can feed them and that will help them grow faster, but don't feel obligated to do so. I rarely if ever feed mine and they are doing just fine. They are also very hardy IMO and IME and are a really nice coral.
