Flower pot corals

[Sassy Jenny]

Flower pots...love um or hate um? I have been doing a lot of reading on flower pot coral. What I would like to know is...if you have success with them, please share what works for you. I am under taking the process of trying to start from scratch with a new goni. I will try to post pictures of progress. Second question, what do you like to feed your flower pots?

They are beautiful but I haven't had any luck with them.

 

[Sassy Jenny]

Well, so far I have learned that they love low flow. High flow seems to just finish them off. I have also learned that low the medium light works also.

which is weird.. ok I have gonipora's in 3 tanks.. the one in the 93 is huge, it is in a high flow and loves it, it is about 2/3 up in the tank so higher light.. the one in my bully tank is small but lower flow and still high up.. the ones in the 120 (one died I could not save it from the phosphate plunge) both are bout midway up and were doing great mid flow area.. food phyto stuff, and once a week I put fuel and sustain into the tanks.. when I feed I also make sure I direct feed all my corals.. which is the phyto stuff w a lil bit of Mysis in it

 

[Sassy Jenny]

Yes...I have also tried them in many different flows and light. The combo that seems to work with my little frag is low light and low flow. I just hope it keeps growing so I can post some pictures.

Oyster feast and oyster eggs seem to be doing the trick for meal for flower pot. So far so good.
