Yep as long as it is not at the very bottom of the tank.

Yes agree 100% with Mr Teee,

Mine used to be near top of tank under t5's, liked it a lot.

Some people feed them and some don't. Personally, I feed my lps...or rather did. Small pieces of krill, whole mysis, stuff like that. Both my bubbles also catch and eat flake food.

Had mine under 4x T5's no problem in a tank 24" deep. They were placed about 12" below the water level and grew a few new heads nicely. I'd say no problem.
