Noticed a few of these guys on my new LR, I have only been able to find one that is actually alive.

Could it be of the genus Rhizangiidae? I have been able to find very little information on what requirements it needs such as lighting, flow and feeding. I have seen people feed similar corals cyclops, I currently only have D'caped BS eggs could this work till I can get some cyclops?
 
Phyllangia. Its not photosynthetic, and will eat just about anything- brine, mysis, cut seafood, pellets, etc. They're super easy to keep, and are really nice looking as they grow. Feed heavily and it will bud new ones from it's base.
 
Sweet! A calcium 'sink' I take it?

Edit: also should I feed it daily? And is it aggressive and/or have sweepers?

Edit 2: maybe I should take this to the NPS section, thx a bunch

Eh, it doesn't grow fast enough to be considered a calcium sink IME. I directly fed mine once or twice a week but it was located in a place that had a lot of food passing by at fish-feeding time, so it grabbed plenty more on its own.
