Anyone had luck keeping goniopora?

Just wondering if anyone local has had luck with goniopora? My mom bought me a nice yellow colony I'm going to try and keep, and local resources are always nice to have.

On top of my head it all depends on what species you have. There are some that are easy and others that are difficult. Good luck!

Food and flow. Cyclopeez, Rotifers, Reef Nutrition "Oyster feast" and
A plug for my friend Justin Credabel's Goniopora food "Goniopower" by two little fishies.
Here are three articles everyone who has a Goniopora should read

Thanks guys. Great articles. Been feeding it arcti-pods the last two times feeding as that's all I have until my goniopower comes in. There's small enough chunks for it to get down and it deffinately responds to feeding. So hopefully that's a good thing. It does have a few polyps in the very center that won't open or extend though.
