Nice!!! I had to get rid of my goni because my clowns kept nipping at it (traded it for a torch). If I had gotten rid of the clowns, my 5 year old daughter would have gotten rid of me.

Nice coloration! What combination of lighting do you use? (type, wattage, color temp)

Hello..thanks for the compliments. Lighting is 2 X 250 Ushio 10K and 4 X 110 URI actinic VHO's of course... Halides are on blueline E-ballasts and VHO's are on an Icecap 660.

That pink looks real good :thumbsup:

Thanks J & K...all I need now is a red/purple center and a blue and my collection is complete.

That yellow pink goni looks really cool. I've never seen one like that in person. How large is that piece?

I have red/purple center one Now i just need one like yours! If you don't mind, where did you find that one?

Thanks..it's about 3" I'd say. I got it from Upscales in Oregon.
Roe's marine world carries gonis sometimes..as does Atlantisaquarium in Ca. They told me they are pretty rare....don't know how true that is.

Looks like G. pamlensis.
I've seen one out of hundreds. One of my favorite.
so they do seem to be hard to get

could you post a pick of any skeleton and/or with the polyps retracted?

My pink and yellow (right) is quite a bit lighter and not as rich in color as yours, but it is also under 10k only and closer to the light source; although, you have about 500w more light than I do .

(notice the acrospheres on the tips of the tentacles where the two goni's are competing for territory.)

Sure..I am slow{the mood has to strike me} so give me a couple days }
Thanks again all.
Very nice John Kelly Thanks for mentioning the aggression between them..I have my purple right next to it and it is growing! It made me look at them today and the purple had been touching my maze a little so it had to be moved..little burn spot but it will be ok.
