Brain Coral

I am thinking of getting a Pink-Red Open Brain Coral, questions on requirements.

- I have bare bottom tank, would that suitable or does needs to sit on substrate?
- Does LPS require two part dosing or calcium reactors like the SPS?
- Does it require feeding or can I just use my T5 lighting to feed it?
Currently I have Frogspawn which grows well without any manual feeding, just lighting.

1. A barebottom tank will do.
2. It requires calcium, alkalinity and magnesium levels consistent with natural seawater.
3. It does not require spotfeeding, but will benefit from it.
