potatocouch Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Been reading articles all day about Goniopora. I just bought hot Pink Goni. I wanted to get your personal opinion/feedback/experience on this particular specimen (Goniopora in general). Questions are: Feeding frequency? How many times per day, per week, per month or may even per year? Feeding material? Reef roids, lobster eggs, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp etc? Feeding method? Disperse in water column or target feeding? Flow: Direct flow or Indirect Flow? Placement: Substrate or Mid Level? Lighting: How long hours of lights? High Intensity light or moderate light? Please do not refer me to Justin's article about Goni or LiveAquaria or anything else. I want your personal feedback Link to comment
potatocouch Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Anyone ??? doesn't anyone has Goni in their tank?Do you feed them when they're looking like zoas or better wait until tentacles are out? Link to comment
Liamgray90 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well I've just purchased a alverporo .which is a flower pot coral like yours When you buy it and when's it acclimating it will just look like a pretty pebal but slowly the zoa like flowers come out it requires being placed away from over corals as it can sting medium flow and pretty good lighting I feed my tank every day anyway but they like brine shrimp hope this helps as no one else has posted yet Link to comment
gogo Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 reef roids. my ora red and branching goni love them. live phyto as well. direct target feeding. Link to comment
atrox Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I keep mine in a dead zone in terms of flow, better polyp extension with less flow. They will only eat when polyp arms are fully extended. I broadcast feed my tank 2 times per week, and target feed Goni once a week. I use coral frenzy, reef roids, frozen food left over juice. Got mine in the sand, and it's under metal halides.

hey Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 mine gets rather high flow, great extension lowish light in the bottom left corner of my tank. I broadcast feed reefroids, kent microvert, and brightwell zooplantos-m. Plus whatever the fishies are getting that day if it has juices. It seems to be doing well so far going on about 1.5 months which is far from where people say they run in to trouble typically. Link to comment
Scorched Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Triton Talk at Macna 2014 - Might be insightful as to why some people have easier time keeping Gonipora than others. 5:18-8:07 Link to comment
potatocouch Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 How to differentiate encrusting gonis to long tentacles gonis? does this one look like encrusting or long tentacles acclimating gonis? Is there any hope to wait and wait for this thing to extend their tentacles or they do not have tentacles? Apology for the poorly taken picture Link to comment
