Beautiful Goniââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s I must say it looks like you have quit a few.

How old is you're oldest one? I was also wondering what you feed with and how often?


This is the latest picture of mine I believe it is getting bigger and I see new growth. I have been feeding it well with live phytoplankton, live brine shrimp, zooplankton, and some assorted frozen meats.


Thanks for sharing

here's my oldest, i've had it a little over a year now. i feed it cyclop-eeze and sometimes mysis falls onto it.

i also have a new one that is still settling into my 40g, had it for about a week. when it's completely settled in i can post pics of it. it's about an inch bigger around than my oldest one.

Nice pic's. Maybe you guys can help me id this. I got two months ago and is doing ok. It does not extend like most flower pots though. iam guessing it is just this type. I am pretty sure it is a Goniopora. What do you guys think?

How fast does Goniporia grow. I have had a 3" Frag about 5 months and it has not grown at all. Nice looking pic's everyone.

I'm not sure about the id. It appears malnutritioned and also maybe a little bleached. It is definitely regressed/retracted. The lack of food will keep the polyps and tentacles from extending like they should. It looks like Goniopora, but count the tentacles surrounding the mouths, if you can, and see if there are 24 or 12. 24 = Goniopora, 12 = Alveopora.
