All of that info is available on this forum with some relatively easy searching, just as it would have been relatively easy to find out these things before purchasing the coral in the first place. If you take the approach to first purchase something before knowing anything about it, don't be surprised to get these kinds of responses

The thing is he did not answer 1 of my question, he just sed its going die he didnt say why or how he just sed its going to die, and the captain genius that he is saying my fake coral is dying,
I did some reasearch just couldnt find out some answers so I ask here isnt that the point?
I don't know how to use the forum very good and it takes forever looking at every-single page

The problem is that these corals are very challenging even for those who have spent countless hours researching about non-photosynthetic corals and have had experience with some of the most difficult corals. Unfortunately, even for people who have set up their systems specifically for these types of corals, the track record still isn't good. Your best bet is to find someone who has a system setup for this coral and have them take care of it; maybe trade something for it...
Also, you're of course welcome to ask questions about how to care for these corals. However, don't expect sympathy for the challenges of searching through these forums for the info you want. If you can't spend the time it takes to do all of the research beforehand, then you probably shouldn't be putting it in your tank.

Also, go through this forum and find threads on different people's systems, particularly the ones with a lot of responses. They have a lot of information on what is necessary to keep these corals.

I agree with uhuru, it WILL die with 3x a day feeding. I'm sorry if I have a dislike against people that don't take 10 minutes to research specific needs of a coral before buying.
If you don't want to take the time to read through half a dozen threads this coral is not for you anyways. I'd say give it to someone who knows what's (s)he is doing now that it is still savable.
If you are truly interested and dedicated enough. I'd say start adding shelfish diet throughout the day, and add FM products 10x daily. Recipes for the FM products can be found here:

If you don't have time to feed that much invest in a fridge system described here:

The guy who sold it to me gave sold me new food and seems to be working and I positioned it on a more flow area of the tank I finally saw it open Last night.
The guy who sold it to me sed that this are pretty harder and the piece itself came from his colony (yes it is a huge frag) so with his success I would try to use his information, And I appreciate the answers. I will update to see if it stays open again.
Sorry for getting in the wrong foot

What was "the guy" feeding it/What foods are you using. Did/does he notice any growth? How was the piece fragged? Is the fragged area healing?
Interested in hearing more
