Pink/Red Goni

I have a small colony of gonioporas and could I just feed them arctipods? Could I just do feed them with the turkey baster? How often do I feed them?

I'm not sure what it is but dont rule out Porites just yet.Here's a Caribbean branching species of Porites that has polyp extension that rivals many LPS.

Arctipods are probably too large to effectively feed most Goniopora species; unless maybe you mash them up real good before you feed.

Except Porites have 12 tentacles per polyp and Goniopora have 24; same family though.
