cool yellow and pink goniopora

[organism]

I got this one at a coral farmer's market about a year ago for $20, I kind of expected it to die since it was all closed up and only had like 6-8 heads, but instead it's grown like crazy and is doing really well. I've been trying to get a decent pic for a long time and finally took some time to get a good one, the blue tips on the tentacles look really cool in person but it's hard to get them on a pic, enjoy the eye candy

I'm starting to think I'm color blind because everyone always claims something is yellow and when I look at it it looks green to me lol. I have a yellow highlighter that's green a yellow tort that's green is it me or is everyone else color blind???

 

[penfold2]

I don't see any yellow in the above coral either. Maybe we're both colorblind?

 

[CDKT]

Looks nice but I see green not yellow and I know I'm not color blind lol whatever color itis it looks really nice.:beer:

What lights do you keep it under and high, med, or low flow. I just bought a red with yellow centers gonipora yesterday and am trying to find the best spot for him to be happy.

+1 to your macro shots. and beautiful goniopora!

 

[mike nickerson]

All though i would have to agree i dont see any yellow just green.

I'd LOVE a frag off of that!! I love Gonis....are you supplementing anything!? What do you keep your Mg levels at?

 

[organism]

Here's a better picture of the colony, the tips are without question yellow in person, probably easier to see in this one. I don't supplement or feed anything, nor do I test my levels. It's pretty high up in the tank, you can see the monti in the background growing at about the same level, flow is moderate. It's going on 2 and a half years old now and still growing

Here's a cell phone pic from today, my clowns started hosting it a few weeks ago. Anyone still seeing green tentacles feel free to check out the green nems in the background before going to the eye doctor

That's a sick goniopora!

The ones for sale here are the typical stokesi
What's the feeding regimen and lighting for this coral?

 

[Tweaked]

Wow, amazing

 

[sde1500]

That is awesome! Yea original pics def looked green tipped. Those full pics are more yellow.

 

[JamesFWB]

Very nice. But In the first and third pics I'm seeing green. I want one.

Breathtaking color combination, great find!

What's the feeding regimen and lighting for this coral?

Ignoring it seems to work great. I've never fed it or added anything to the tank, was even fishless for a while and didn't do anything to the tank other than water changes for about 6 months. I think people get so wrapped up in this idea that they need to feed gonis that they end up messing up their water parameters and ironically killing them as a result. Seems to prefer moderate light in the bluer spectrum like 20k.

 

[HammerLover]

Ohh, maybe gonis like blue-ish light because they are found in slightly deep water?
