OMG wow WOW yes plz love this tank!!

just read through the thread now I want a goni
questions:
should one start out with a ORA red?
do we feel the wild aussie gonis do well in tank life?
what is best to feed them? ployp lab, reef chili or DIY fish food mush?

my understanding is med light and med flow?
on sand bed is ok but not touching the sand correct.

Stay away from the green gonis! That's my advice. I bought a nice red and a nice green wild st rhe same time, red is flourishing and green is starting to die back. I'd suggest ora red for sure. And very true about medium light/flow and off the sand bed. I dont directly feed mine but I feed the tank heavy multiple times a day for my fish

 

[Devaji]

guess I will start with an ORA red and go from there..lets keep this thread going.
if you posted a while back plz give us an update.

If you want something green and similar to a green goni without the struggle, look for an alveopora.

 

[Devaji]

yes I love alveopora need to get some for sure.

Added a new gorgeous light pink baby to my duo yesterday! She's a real stunner

Just starting out with these wee little baby’s.

This is encouraging. I’ve never had success with gonis(although only tried variations of greens).

I never knew there were so many color variations in Gonipora. Is their care the same regardless of color? In the past I have unsuccessfully tried to keep a number of these. I pretty much gave up on them until a friend gave me a frag of red and blue Goni. He guaranteed me that it would do well in my system. That was 5 years ago and he was right. But now you guys have inspired me to try another color.

My lemon head Goni frag is starting to sprout some small heads at the base! (Ignore the diatoms. They love this corner of the tanks)
