I have two different goniopora that I need help identifying. More importantly, I need help with any known lighting requirements.
The greenish one might be a lobata (impinged tag/label said GOLO). But I can't identify the one on the far left. <HELP>
I think I have the correct lighting for the supposed GOLO, as it is opening nicely and extending polyps, but not too extensively. I even see some of the nematocyte tips coming out.
The one of the left (more pink/purple) started out opening up, but it not opening as much any more. I've tried lower lighting, higher lighting and mostly minimal and gentle current. I have been target feeding all three specimens BRS reef chili, Credible's Goniopower, and Reef Nutrition's Oysterfeast and R.O.E.. I get a feeding response from all three. I do dose Kent Marine's iron/manganese too.
I do know that the 3rd one on the far right is an ORA Red goniopora from Premium Aquatics.
Thank you for any leads, insights, ideas, help!
