If you start on gonis I suggest starting with a ORA red. They are aquacultured for a long time and one of the easier ones.
Seems to do ok without feeding too. Nice thing is they are one of the better looking ones too and with proper care can get blue eyes.

If not the ORA red try and find some that are aquacultured and not just colonies that are chopped up. Chooped up is what allot of what you see in the hobby. When you buy it looked at it retracted so you can see if the tissue is growing down the side or freshly chopped up. If it is regrowing you know it can survive.

The problem with care is they can all be different and iding the different types is hard. The reason we could not keep them is we imported goniopora stokesi and still is near impossible to keep.

I have about a dozen types right now and some are not to hard and grow like crazy and others are a struggle every day.

Like I said the care varies so much because there are pretty many different gonioporas in the family.

Sometimes you have to ask they do not always state:

There are a few others.
