Coral ID with Pic

[memnoch]

Ok, now i have the pic working i think, let's hope. If anyone is out there who can ID this thing and hasn't tired of seeing the same post over and over then please respond. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a type of carnation coral, possibly a Dendronephthya sp.? If so they are very difficult to keep, they are non photosythetic corals that depend on frequent feeding for survival, phytoplankton for example. HTH

I looked up some pics of carnation coral and i agree this is likely the ID i was looking for. How often does it need to be fed? I have tried intentionally to stay away from specimens that need to be fed but now that i have it i need some quick care advice. So anyone with experience with this species please advise my poor ignorant soul...the guy at the LFS said when i bought this that "it doesn't need much light" he failed to mention you have to feed it
