Wild Aussie goniopora (1 Viewer)

Was going to pass but the guy at the counter insisted Aussie flower pot are much hardier than their counterparts from Indonesia. Any truth to this? Did they just milk me out of $60? I have Reefroid and Goniopower but after opening them i find theyre the same consistency and textures.

The Care and Propagation of Goniopora by Justin Credabel - Reefkeeping.com

You might consider phytoplankton in addition to the two foods you mention. I don't directly feed my red goni but it probably picks particles out of the water column when I feed the fish. I do dose phytoplankton and reefroids on occasion.

I understand the red gonis are fairly hardy if the right conditions are met. Just like to know if the green ones are easier these days. Will add phyton thanks!

 

[steveb]

did they happen to mention the actual species?

Goniopora stokesi,
Goniopora stutchburyi,
Goniopora norfolkensis,
Goniopora planulata
?
? others but they escape me right now

 

[JohnnyNguyen]

No. Said it was easy to care for. Will snap a pix tonight.

I’ve heard the secret to Goni’s is Maganese and iron! I can’t confirm this though.

I have a video on YouTube all about gonis has about 1.4k views on it, I find Gonis very easy to care for, I like things simple and they do too, as long as you do your weekly water change then and put it in the right area for flow, which greatly depends on the indvidual coral it self, it may like very slow flow up to sps type of flow. I guess it varies with each speices. I do feed my Goni now and back then with phytoplankton mixed in with reefroids, the consistency I like to feed is almost to paste like. Also don’t blast them with a lot of light. I’d say put it in an area of 200 par and less.

Hope this helps
