Beauties! Thanks for sharing

Thanks. Here is a picture of two of my Goniopora colonies taken today.

Here is a picture of my red ORA. Had it over four years and fragged it twice. In the past it has dropped very small babies but recently it dropped a large one with about 10 polyps. I do not feed it but on occasion have tried many different foods including gonipower and have never seen a feeding response.

 

[OrionN]

Are those 4 or 5 of his babies?

Here's my red, the second pic is a little newer:

Looking good. I can tell which picture is later by the look of the coraline algae. You Goni is doing well.

 

[discocarp]

I started it from an itty bitty frag. This red goni is just a great grower.

Very nice.

Do you need to spot feed them?

 

[OrionN]

Had posted on another thread, will post my pieces here too. I had some pieces here and there in the past, but have gotten hooked on this coral due to more availability of colors in the hobby recently..
I really like this lps.
I've been feeding mine and they kind of went from retracting initially to the food to expanding now and accepting feeding much more.
Here is a pic:

So what are you feeding them?

 

[OrionN]

Some of my Goniopora this AM

Awesome! These are so much cooler than fuzzy sticks. Bring back the '90s where LPS and soft corals reigned.

I just bought my first goni frag a couple of weeks ago. As they grow will it grow out onto the rock it is on? So how are the frags cut? I am assuming it will be like the acan colony that I cut this past winter. The piece I got is the red ora piece. I never knew they were available is such colors. I remember 25 years ago when you could get brown ones the size of baseballs but couldnt keep them alive. I saw some really cool ones a couple of weeks ago for sale that were green, another orange, another pink. Really cool.
