Yes they filter feed, but they need to be fed the food to filter feed.
When I feed live oysters, coral polyps extend. Since the Coral is not feeding on clam flesh itself, what is the photosynthetic corals feeding on. The same thing that non photosynthetic corals feed on; organic & inorganic nutrients.

Bacteria, macro, corals and sponges all compete for nutrients.
