That is a beautiful sea fan... I've seen similar ones that are photosynthetic, but they tend to be yellow or purple, not that gorgeous burgundy that you have.

If it's opening a few times a day, that should be good enough... I don't know anyone that's had many nonphotosynthetic gorgonians. If you notice any bad decay, I've heard that it can travel down the stalk and kill the whole piece. I would trim off any decaying or dead parts, maybe take a small frag and put it in a different position in the tank just in case you lose the mother colony.

Good idea. Also because there may be more favourable flow in a different part of the tank. The fan is quite large for my tank right now, but I will be upgrading soon to a larger cubish shaped tank.
