Goniopora for trade

[MayoBoy]

I have a goniopora that my clowns just won't leave alone. It's almost a perfect hemisphere about 2-1/2 to 3" in diameter. I'll trade it for a nice zoa rock, torch, ricordias or ??? (I'm not an SPS guy)

It's just about dead center in this shot.

I have a couple of Kenya trees that are pretty nice looking for trade. But i also have clowns.

that is not a beginner coral.................... not really even an expert coral.

you gotta really know what your doing and be lucky

My goniopora have been hosting my clowns for over two years they even lay their eggs in it .

No, not a beginners coral but it can be kept if you do your research. It needs to go into a well established aquarium with bright lighting and it needs to be fed occasionally. Treat it like an anemone.
Past failures may be due to people thinking it was a purely photosynthetic animal and as a result, having the specimen slowly starve to death.
