Sun coral. Non photosynthetic. Needs to be fed regularly and is "nocturnal". Can be "trained" by feeding to open during the day

Feed it or it will die on you

Each head will need to be fed. I take mine out if the tank and put it in a cup of tank water. Then I place a cube of mysis in there. As it dissolves the coral will eventually come out. This may take a few times, but its like training it. Now when I feed my tank the coral comes out as it recognizes my feeding patterns.

After training ours to feed during the evening feeding cycle they just get a puff of myst shrimp and seem to be happy and healthy.
