Wow, NICE.

In general LPS care is similar to that of SPS. Except that they can tolerate somewhat gentler flow (or may require gentler flow) and they usually require slightly less light as well (some actually do worse under intense lighting, but it's case-by-case, it's hard to make any generalizations). They benefit from Ca/Alk just the same that SPS do though, and they usually need to be fed (well I don't know about "need" to be fed but I do occasionally feed my LPS some mysis. They let me know when they're hungry when their feeder tentacles come out.... maybe once a week or thereabouts).

Some prefer to be in the sand, some might do OK on the rocks... I don't know about this brain that you have pictured but most if not all brains that I've seen in tanks do better when placed on the sand, maybe in a lagoonal biotope part of the tank.
