Here a H. magnifica stinging an acroporid in the Red Sea.

All cnidarians need to be fed… even principally photosynthetic species/groups. Purposely or indirectly via refugium culture, ancillary feeding of other stocks, or biochemically.
Light systems should be on timers, cycled on/off regularly.
Circulation should be vigorous and non-laminar. On the plus side of poor water movement is the lack of chemical communication and distribution of chemical and physical materials. On the plus side of high water movement are export of same, distribution of foods, oxygen, elimination of wastes, carbon dioxide, provision of steady pH, RedOx, Biominerals..
