Will this wild coral survive?

I think it’s a cup coral. I’ve had some on live rock that did ok at first, but fizzled out further down the road. It might need target feeding.
 
It appears to be a NPS (non photosynthetic) coral and will require targeted feedings to survive. I'd expect it to open up after lights out, so feedings should be then as well.

Good luck!
