Ok, lights are on. Torch is definitely a goner. Iodine and Reef Primer and H2O2 dips anyway. Doubt it'll work.

Final answer: after dips, torch has nothing left. RIP So, Electric Daisy Stylo, Mint Green Alveopora (probably actually a micro goni - purple flesh, bright green middle definitely not 12 lashes per polyp), Hammer (might actually be the Splatter), and Firefly Monti are all alive and well. Lawnmower Blenny was out this morning before the lights came on but refuses a picture.

Lost 1 hammer, 2 mushrooms, and the torch. The good news is I paid $40 including shipping for everything so it's worth it to me for just the Stylo and Blenny. The hammer is a nice bonus, the monti was only because it was cheap.

pics of polyps if and when you can. Otherwise, if they have more than 12 petals, it's a goni!
You probably know this though.
Yep. Where it's at in my tank makes it difficult to get a clean picture. I'll do my worst! I mean best...

Micro gonis are very pretty though. Either way, it is probably a win.
I like both Gonis and Alves. Micro Gonis are pretty but I don't have any and they fight with Gonis and Alves both from what I understand. Bernardapora? Something like that.

The over lapping of the tentacles make this difficult, looks like a gonni sitting next to an alvepora.

I counted 18 tentacles, should be 24... Pics from reefchasers by chance?

The pic from Reef Chasers doesn't looked anything like what I got. He doesn't have any more on the website currently so all I have is the invoice...

The mint green on the bottom left is an actual alvepora. The one at the top right is a goni
The one I bought is the lower left, but the petals are definitely different and mine is a very purple/pink - not green (except for the mouth). I'm trying to find my orange lens...

I'm definitely happier with this one, whether it's a goni or alve doesn't matter to me - I have both. I have room for 2 more Alveopora and I haven't set my Goni garden rock yet so I can get more of those.

There we go! Focused on the one in question instead of the Alves up front!
