I just paid a crazy amount for a Goniastrea palauensis which is from australia, meaning expensive!!!!! At least it's unique and has potential, I've been watching it for weeks on Live Aquaria and it must have remained healthy or they won't ship or post. It's mostly green but from the pictures appears to have purple trying to grow down the corallites into the "mouths" of the coral. Oh geez, tell me I haven't done something insane! AIMS says uncommon, I work at a LFS and have not seen one before so I assume they're correct. Post if you have pictures please. Thanks!
Oh geez, what have I done?

Im not sure I would call G. palauensis rare- its not around quite as often as other Faviids, but its a coral I still see pretty regularly.
In me experience, they are easy corals to keep- no unusual requirements. I tried to look for the photo of your individual, but its already gone. Post up once you get it!

Goniastrea Palauensis have been coming in regularly from Australia. I'm not going to comment on price since I am a sponsor here but the ones we get in are crazy, nuclear green. I mean the brightest coral we have ever put in our tanks. I really mean this thing glows while still in the bag, in the dark. haha.
Truly a really nice coral and I am not kidding about how bright they are. Good luck.

Well here's a picture of the coral while it was acclimating, it's doing very well after a couple days, I was worried about brown jelly.....I've had issues with that with new brain corals for a certain supplier, not this supplier. It has potential and after some time in my tank I believe this coral will really start to gain some great color. One issue, not a issue yet but could be, it won't put it's tentacles out at night, not sure why but I'll try introducing some food "juice" to see if it wakes up.
I'm going to be an uncle within the hour, after 3 days of trying to get my sister in law to have "natural birth" they're doing a C-section, they couldn't get the baby to "give it up" so the camera is obviously not with me right now, in fact I shouldn't be here right now. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
