Goniopora

[Red Sea reefer]

So I was asking for coral ID yesterday and I found out that I have a Goniopora
I have 2 of them for 9 month now and they doing just great well I am not
That good with coral the only thing which I did to keep this coral a live
Is keeping a good water parameter and it seem to be happy and so healthy
I have read a lot about it yesterday they said its so hard to keep it and it's challenge to keep one a live so:

What you guys know about the Goniopora share you expirance and what it's need like feeding flow rate lighting how fast it grow any thing you know about it
Will help

Looking good, congrats. There are some that do good in our tanks and others that dont so it helps getting one that is propergated or a certain color (not sure which color is the type that has the best record). Wish you luck on it's future though.

I have about a dozen gonis, and have had a purple from Justin Credible about 3 years now. Typically the reds do best, but I am having success with all. I also find high light and flow works for me.

Do you know what type is mine ??
I place them in the top of rock

Question regarding the flow is should be high direct flow or indirect ?? Or medium flow ??

And what should I feed them and how fast they grow

No one can explain as no one knows what causes them to go down hill after a certain time.

 

[Red Sea reefer]

So that mean mine will end up after 9 more months !!!!

Not sure till it happens, this is why most people even experienced reefers stay away from them.

Hmmm I wasn't know about that will never buy it again

my job is done here!!!!:fun2:

joking..... however, very, very few succeed with goni and they should really just be left on the reef!!!

If I have reef next to me I will release it thanks for the info

 

[KafudaFish]

That is a bad idea.

Do not put anything that was in your tank into the ocean, it can have desieses that corals around there are not used to and you could kill off alot of stuff.

Just keep it and hope for the best.

Don't worry I was just kidding and there is no ocean next to my country

Ok good deal, hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic on here or not

He doesn't have an ocean near his country but he does have the Red Sea
