I was wondering if someone could ID this coral? Someone at the lfs wiped off the name and all that's left is "must feed $49". So, can you ID and tell me if it's non-photosynthetic since you "must feed"? Thanks and sorry if it's not an lps, I'm placing it here just because of the size

We have two of them. They are one of my favorites. they require moderate to high lighting. They must also have some water movement so their polyps can move freely. However, it should not be directed right at the polyps or the movement might be too vigorous. Goniopora are avid feeders susceptible to death from nutritional deficiencies. There are many different ways to feed Goniopora. For example, they can be directly fed with a syringe (avoiding a hard, straight flow into the polyps or that triggers them to close up) or food can be sprinkled on the top of the tank and let to reach the Goniopora on its own. However, direct feeding seems to work best.
 
Thanks guys, guess it won't work out in my tank as my lighting is extremely low. Thanks again
