goniopora

[jfbhd4]

Has anyone tried keeping it?
I told em to hold if for me at clayton until tuesday, but I am worried it will die in my tank.

Give me a thumbs up, or down on this purchase. I have a gift cert that will cover it, but maybe I will get something else.

What color is it? Certain colors are easier than others.

I had one but my clowns kept nipping at it so I traded it for a torch.

They like a dirty tank.There are people that have had success but I believe they are better left in the wild.Most will die a slow death in an aquarium.

Well my tank isnt exceptionally clean.
I have nitrates around 10 or so, cant get it any cleaner with the setup I have.

Maybe I will get a deresa clam-- if they have one.

Has anyone had any success with a clam besides a derasa with Power Compacts?
A Maxima?
Thanks

I could put it up high...

I wouldn't try any clam but a Derasa with PCs.

<---I've had the goniopora in my avatar going on two years now. They defiantly are not the easiest coral to take care of. The dirty tank theory is a myth. My nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia are undetectable and the goni is thriving. The secret to their care is frequent target feedings with a small food. I feed cyclopeeze to mine every night. Maybe once a week I'll mix a little DT's in with the cyclopeeze.
