Just anywhere in low light, but more importantly high food.

FWIW, I've had mine for almost two months now- I use a turkey baster and mysis shrimp, melt the shrimp in tank water and squirt that water over the polyps.  Within about 10-15 minutes they're fully polyped out, and then I feed the shrimp.  I feed them 3-4 times a week, and the number of polyps has almost doubled already.  I've got mine placed under a rock overhang, but half of them are exposed to the PCs daily and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I fed mine every other day with turkey baster and a mix of 3 diff sizes of golden pearls and live photo plankton. Tease them by feeding your fish and then about 1/2 later give them 1/2 the mix and then in an 1/2 when they are out the other. Dont blast them with it just get it in their direction..
I have flying monkeys and I'm not afraid to use them.

oops I forgot. Use only aquarium water when mixing. Tap water is not as appealing to them..

Ditto!

 I don't think they care about light, one way or the other...
