Impossible. Nobody has ever managed to keep those more than a few months, not even those with dedicated non-photosynthetic tank with constant feeding system.

First we don't know exactly what it is eating but it is not eating phyto, more likely rich water with zooplankton in it.

And second, it grow in deep water so the warm water in our tank is very detrimental to it. Most probably it would need water at temperature of around 60F to 65F and only blue light so no algae can grow on it. It live is deep water with very rich cool water from the deep.

It is probably the hardest to keep non-photosynthetic coral.

I managed to keep one for about 4 months feeding it 10 to 12 times a day with fauna marin ultraseafan, ultramin, reefroid, coral frenzy, oyster eggs, rotifeast, you name it. Yet it died never mind what I did.

Mine even regrew the flesh at the base that was damaged but it still died anyway.
