Question and need help A.S.A.P........

[clownfish45]

I bought a Red Goni aka flower pot last week from the lfs and in there tank it look healthy.I came home and put it in my tank and it has never open up I have hade it in my tank for two weeks and it is starting to disintegrate. Test my water every week and all test are normal. I have a 24gal nano that it is in and I do a 3gal water change every week. The rest of my corals are doing great but the flower pot looks like its on its way out. Is there anything I can do to save this coral.

Try doing a little research, other than a select few people, goniporas have a very bad success rate. 99% die within months of being in captivity, they seem to prefer more turbid water and rely on heavy food imputs much more than most corals we keep.

Thats a pretty typical scenario with Goniopora Im afraid. For a good overview on keeping them (or at least trying to) check out goniopora.org

Ok where could I go to find some information on it?

That's what I've read
