Goni ID

Does anyone know the popular name for this Goni? It was sold as “black mamba” by the LFS but I don't see any other examples with that name when I gooogle. It kind of looks like the SBB Blood Lotus Goni but not exact.

SBB has something similiar called Stain Glass Honestly, each shop "names" them differently.

Very similar but not quite the same. The centers on this one are a pinkish-purple . I checked SBB’s site because they have so many awesome ones but I can’t find an exact match.

A better pic of the centers

The closest one I’ve found is the WWC Cosmos Goniopira. It’s still not an exact match. There’s more of a fade from purple to yellow/gold in the stalks on the one I have.

Trade names are kinda pointless for Goni so you can't really assign a name too it unless you purchased it from a specific vendor with a specific name.

Good point. I’m more interested to see what a grown out colony looks like but I guess I’ll just have to be patient.

I like the contrast between the bright yellow/green tips and the dark polyps.

Thanks! I really like this Goni as well.

I wish I could give you a proper name but I like the colors of it!
