its a pink suncoral it is non photosynthetic and needs to be fed meaty foods every few days or daily if possible.

spray some juice from your mysis near it and then give them ten mins to come out , once out feed the mysis itself to every polyp.

these corals can be placed in pitch dark but need good water quality and they absolutely need to be fed , the more you feed the faster it grows

hth

cheers

Denny is right, I had one and took it out of the tank to spot feed it in a container. Cool coral, but it does take constant care to keep them going.
