SBB Treasure Chest I think.

That is SBB TC as I have one as well. What do you keep your N and P at? Reason I ask is if I show you a pic of mine now, it looks nothing like this as far as coloration goes. I’ve noticed that based on N and P levels, over time they’ll change colors.

I found I need to add some manganese to keep the gonis happy. No3 15ish, Po4 .1. Some of my gonis lost color some months ago and I started to add trace minerals to bring back some of the color. Mainly iron and manganese. The bad thing I can't measure manganese... and some of the others.

I add Mn and Fe as well. My numbers are similar. Here my SBB TC.

Does everyone keep their gonis separated to ensure there is no coral warfare? How do you know if they are ok to keep by each other.

I have limited space left and not sure if it’s wise to add another Goni

Long tentacle generally can be near long tentacle

Many short tentacle / short polyp gonipora actually are mislabeled bernardapora and those are not compatible with gonipora

Do you still have this & how did it end up please

Still have it, and I bought a second one.
I actually took some pics earlier tonight to examine the growth of the first one

Shortly after I first got it in December
You can see it’s only encrusted on the top of this rock chip glued to a frag plug

And today. Pics out of water to see / track base growth. All 4 sides have encrusted over the original rock chip and are growing onto the plug itself

Hello everyone, I have a question about one of my Gonioporas.

Got this one 2 weeks ago and wondering if it’s bleached or new polyps coming on the edge.
