I know winter has just arrived here in the United States, but I'm already dreaming of spring. Let's kick off Thursday with another showdown that will have you ready to put out your plastic bunnies and dyed eggs!

Flowerpots and Sunshine: Gonipora vs. Drendophyllia! Which do you prefer?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Goni all the way!

dendro's. goni's have been too finnicky for me.

 

[BryanM]

drendos are creepy

Fun fact: most of what we call "Dendrophyllia" in the hobby are actually  Tubastraea. Fathead Dendros, the most common type in the hobby currently, are T. megacorallita, and are actually from Hong Kong, smuggled through Indonesia. Dendrophyllia sensu stricto is a Mediterranean endemic, but not all Dendro species have been reclassified yet.

I’d say Goni’s based upon the variety of colors available and that they aren’t NPS.

I love gonis, I just wish I could manage to keep them alive! I will sacrifice no more but I do like looking at them wistfully.

 

[ChiCity]

gonis… yesterday, today, tomorrow, the day after.
all day. every day!

I love them both I will say I have had way more luck with "tubastrea"/dendro than gonis.
