Goody Thanks Danny.

I actually got confused when the LFS said its non-photosynthetic but doesn't require feeding. I was like HUH?! :P

he must have meant it was not non phtosynthetic is my only guess

What they should have said was, "photosynthetic, but feeding will help".

Nop I remember he said that its non-photo and require feeding but the food and nutrition from water column would be good enough for it. I was confused and asked him twice and he repeated it again. Hence the confusion :P That particular guy always confuses me :|

I was in doubt of it being non-photo because NPS are generally very brightly color isinit? I am not sure about this but please do correct me if I am wrong

Yah. I feed my corals daily so that the frags would become mini colonies as soon as possible. That way, my tanks would look filled

if an lfs does tell you something is non-phot then dont buy it regardless of how little you have to feed it, or how easy it is to take care of , go home and do your own research on it first so you dont get stuck with something you cant take care of, youll have much better purchases if you do , this was a lucky one alot of times you WILL end up with somthing you cant feed or hope to feed.

good luck buddy

Totally agree to that. That's why I did a quick liveaquaria search from my cellphone over there and saw that its photosyn so grabbed it and came to this place just to clarify :P

BTW can you tell me the particular name for this? LFS said its "rare japanese purple mouth pink ganiopora".
