Stylocoeniella - any tips?

So I came across a nice frag of stylocoeniella the other day and had to have it. I've killed a bunch of these, with plenty of help from my wormy friend. Now that the worm is gone, I'd like to be able to see actual GROWTH on this thing. I see relatively few photos of these growing in hobbyist tanks -- what do they need? High/low light/flow/temp?
 
Treat it like a meteor shower???

the purple with yellow is cool though

The one I got is pretty darn cool, but I'm not sure it's THAT cool. ;) Orange base, and solid-yellow polyps that completely cover the base when they're open. I'm treating it like a stylo for the moment, starting with med light+flow and it seems to be happy enough. Will know in a couple weeks whether it plans to grow -- if not, I'll probably move it down before moving it up.
 
Ehhh, so hard to take pix... best I could do tonight...
