irish1028 Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Gents, I just added a small piece of gonapora coral. It was just soo pretty. I read in a book that I have published 1997, that I need to add zooplankton for it to live any length of time, Is this true? And if so is adding zooplankton a fairly easy ordeal. Thanks as always Irish Link to comment
mattie Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 goniopora (flower pot coral) yes will benefit from phytoplankton this is not a good entry level coral for a newbie and since your tank has only been up for a month search for as much info on this coral so that you will have a positive experience they have a very poor chance of succes in captivity Link to comment
tinyreef Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 very difficult coral (it possible in the long-term at all). i'd recommend to see if the lfs can take it back in exchange for something a little easier or just for credit. your tank still needs to settle in. (btw this would be a good indicator of the quality of the lfs) get one of the coral books (e.g. sprung, borneman, or even axelrod's old 'sticky' book :x ) to see what you like and can handle at this stage. after building up experience with some of the easier ones you can gradually trade-in/move toward the difficult ones. hth Link to comment
OpenBrain Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 is very similar and much more hardy. FYI Link to comment
