My new coral

[nashorn]

Here's a picture of what I picked up today. I think it's a Goniopora something (expert needed)? I know these are hard to keep but I have a branching one for the last 2 years.I hope this will do well too. I not sure if it losted it's Zooxanthellae during shipping or if it will stay this color.

the branching kind, alveopora, is considered much easier to keep. there is a guy, i think he might even be a BAR member who is an expert at goniopora, and even sold off babies that popped up (they bud off the main skeleton I think). i think i remember reading they like pretty "dirty" tanks and a lot of variable current. good luck!

That was Mangrovecoral/Piya.

Goniaporas did well in his tank. He was running skimmerless, and had a mangrove refugium on his system.
