Does this coral need feeding ? Or it can survive by itself?

NPS or photosynthetic?

 

[Naekuh]

Flower Tree Corals doe not contain symbiotic algae that it can rely on for food; therefore, its diet must include live, baby brine shrimp, micro-plankton, and other small foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates, in order to survive in the reef aquarium.

NPS....
