Perhaps one of the most loved of all the corals available for sale in the Marine Aquarium hobby. These 'flowerpot corals' with their long, sweeping flower-like tentacles catch the eye of most hobbyists sooner or later.

 

Unfortunately, they are also perhaps the single most difficult coral to keep in captivity. The marine aquarium newsgroups are littered with questions from people wanting to know why their Goniopora no longer opens fully or why the tissue appears to be receding at the base. To date no one has been able to answer these questions conclusively. Whilst there is anecdotal evidence that some experienced aquarists have kept these corals successfully for more than 2 years, for most aquarists, even very experienced ones, it is more normal for the corals to 'disappear' in less than 18 months!

 

For now, it would seem that the best thing we can do as aquarists is to simply stop buying these corals. Only then can we hope that the collectors will leave them where they belong and where they can live indefinitely. Perhaps in time we will have the anwers to the mystery, but until then please -
