And if you think this is bad (at night time) take a look at a galaxy coral, their not shy at all with those tenticals.

I still have plenty of algae, now that I know what this ceature is I will have to be a bit more vigilant in pruning algae around its perimeter.
Any special feeding requirements I should be aware of?

Being an LPS coral target feeding small meaty foods will help this coral grow, still its said that 90% of energy captured by coral is from photosynthesis of their symbiotic algea so strong lighting and proper water conditions are the best way to maintain health.
