Psychosis Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I do believe I'm going to try and find that book, not that sps is really my "thing." Knowledge is power, power corrupts. Learn alot, be evil. I thought this was cool: "The star coral Montastraea annularis may live for several centuries and grow to the size of an automobile." Link to comment
Greenstar Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Porities can be over 2000 years olds, some other corals such as acros may only exist for 5 years on a reef before they suffer an ailment and are quickly overtaken by other members of the reef. I believe that the lifespan for most corals is indefinite, but with the many hardships presented by predators, natural disasters, diseases, competition etc. most succumb before they really reach maturity and those who reach maturity live until their luck runs out.

Psychosis Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Haha I suppose I hadn't considered the fact that we remove all of those elements by standing on guard for any predators or diseases etc. etc. Link to comment

Psychosis Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 What the hell was that about fish guy? Personally, I didn't know porites could live to be a milenia old, and I haven't found any sources on the internet yet to learn any of this. Just let it go. I swear if you're going to be, dodging questions and useing the same bull headed responses over and over and over, why bother posting? I've read alot of Greenstar's posts, he's knowledgable (if a bit abrasive.) I'd take his word over yours. He established that yes, gonipora have been kept successfully for a number of years, and your first impulse was blatant denial followed by name calling. I'm a noob, and I can own up to that. Maybe it's time you did the same. Link to comment

GIRLGONEAQUA Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have a red goniopora in my tank, and it seems rather happy in there. Iv had it about 3 months now and feed it nori or phytoplankton. Link to comment
onepostplanned Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Themadride got banned indefinitely for saying the EXACT SAME STATEMENT as Greenstar said in the threat about flowerpot corals. Greenstar had his post edited at that's it. Themadride got banned for a week.....then when I reported the EXACT SAME STATEMENT from Greenster.. I got banned indefinitely because I "didn't take it like a man". What BULL! Not to mention that jeremai himself broke the rules and then posted A FALSE (Edited) QUOTE of mine. "It's not a democracy, friend" he says. Well, what exactly is it, when dozens of people cursed and made personal attacks INCLUDING YOU...and nothing happened. Until someone fired back and you and then you just couldn't take it. Poor widdle moderator got his feeling hurt or felt "one-upped" and just couldn't think of anything to do, but ban someone.

Sac_State Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Jeeezus, I can't believe I was even trying to have an intelligent conversational with either Greenstar or BKtomodachi...listen guys, just because you two have high post counts does not mean that you're not still noobs. I just looked over the posts that both of you have made, most of which were in the lounge, and you guys should seriously not be giving anyone any advice, on anything...especially with regard to nano or reef tanks considering that both of your tanks are pretty noobish in general. you may want to wait until you've actually achieved something with your own tanks before making recommendations and suggestions to others. oh, and greenstar, you are no pioneer, innovator, or researcher. so quite trying to make yourself sound like you're breaking new ground when you're just making excuses to try and keep things that you don't have the knowledge, experience, or equipment to handle...

nyfishguy Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 look i lost my head a bit I TOTALLY admit that....but i did NOT deserve to be attacked by him (Greenstar) like that....his ideas are the same as everyone else's and you're right he's no innovator or pioneer. I study this stuff for fun and for school...Im in a marine bio program at Brooklyn's Kingsborough community college for the sciences....I love it because that's what i'm passionate about and i've gotten more and more involved in reef conservation because lets face it guys....without the reefs our little hobby and forum site doesen't exist...and that's my only point in the end....the flowerpot thing was just a hopping off point for some thing bigger and i think ppl realize that...(ohhh and i know the know it all is gonna have to make some smart comment to defend him self and thats fine....let him....if he likes to talk to make himself feel important that's cool....maybe he wasen't hugged enough as a kid or something) We are ALL passionate about the same thing on this site and we are all here to learn a bit more every day about what it is we do....so lets just do it and stop all the stupidity.

SulfurAcid Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 No, obviously you miss all of my points. First off gonioporas have been successfully kept long term by those who understand their needs Second they can be fragged, regenerate and be fragged again thus are a suitable candidate for the hobby ( much like tuberastera, clams etc.) Third there is no reason to go all high and mighty about corals dying at the hands of the new, uneducated hobbyist (you would have a much better route about the continued importation of bleached anemones) when everything from live rock to corals fundementally damages the reef and is biologically dead to the reef regardless of its survival. This is well said, well said.. I just think it is a shame that they are viewed as pretty corals and then sold to the people who do not understand their basic needs and such. i'm done with this site......some ignorant ppl.....no wonder society is FU**ED Whoa, what went wrong here....

jeremai Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 1. Goniopora sp. are difficult to keep, but it can be done successfully if given the correct environment and food source for a given species. 2. The internet is serious business, and should be treated as such. 3. Link to comment
SulfurAcid Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well, then you should get an aquacultured goniopora. lol Haha - new sig. lol http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...=180629&hl= You are a noob, GTFO LOL YAY sharks in my 20 gallon! Link to comment
