Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

it will retract when it gets food it really likes. But it’s a different kind of “retract” than if it was irritated, it will get about 50-75% smaller as opposed to all the way back into its skeleton. If you are target feeding, be careful that you don’t blast it with flow from your syringe/turkey baster, gently let the food float onto its polyps. mine is also happiest in a very gentle flow.

That’s good info, I’ll keep an eye on that.

Surprisingly, mine loves stronger flow. He’s only really started to extend after I moved my Koralia to focus on him.

That’s interesting, I wonder if it’s a species thing or maybe just coincidence. Mine has been in the tank about 6 months, and has grown noticeably more on the the side that gets less flow.

I know the major thing with gonis is if they’re from Indonesia or Australia.
 
Plus when I started reefing, I was told by a seasoned reefer the sooner you have a fully grown out tank the sooner your looking at a tank you can't do much with, maybe start another tank etc. Enjoy watching the tank slowly fill out and progress.

This times a million. We get sooo into making everything grow crazy and we forget that watching your tank slowly grow in is the best part of the hobby. Soon enough your tank is too full, you have to frag all the time to keep things from killing each other, no room for new corals, looking at a costly upgrade and so on.

It's why I'm enjoying the "Dusty" stage I'm currently in right now so much :p

He equated it to having kids and skipping their childhood. what's the point?
 
My plan is to get my kids out of the house as soon as possible when I have them.
I'd wait to have one or some until you make that decision....I used to say the same.
 
It's such a trip!!
My 9 year old digs reefing and wants to test alk everyday.
She is just like I was at that age....PIA
My mom used to say it all the time growing up, "can't wait til you have kids gonna be just like you and you're screwed, payback!!"
Man she wasn't kiddin but what a blast!!!
 
You gotta say Lulvle for Louisville.
There's something about that Kentucky accent...talk to people all day for work and that one stands out the most...gotta find me a nice Kentucky gal. Such a sweet, bubbly, energetic accent; reminds me of my aunt Sandy, love and miss her and that accent!!
