I’ve got a bunch of SBB gonis and while they are nice and you can’t beat the prices during their live sales, although they are different names, they all start to look alike. There are very subtle differences in the coloration but not enough to make me want to buy more. Like I’ve got a Bubbleicious, Viola, and Ace of Hearts which all look virtually the same. I just got a Treasure Island and that one is different and really nice.

Here’s a few of mine grown from 1” frags after a year. Unfortunately had to sell them. Glitter, amazeballs and red.

New member here! :yo: I didn't see a show-off thread for goniopora, but hopefully there are enough of us succeeding with flower pot corals to warrant one, because I would LOVE to see more of these! Here's mine:

Made this close-up pic my screen saver. :love:
It's a bit pinker than it looks in person; I'd say the true color is halfway between the pink in close-up shots and the red you see in my FTS:

I don't know which species I have, but it's defied the difficult label these carry, since I do nothing special for it. I have low to medium flow in my tank and broadcast feed once or twice a week. I see it catch food each time, but I don't make any effort to target feed.

I bought it as a tiny frag in a local shop about a year and a half ago:

One of my best coral purchases to date! Anyone else have one doing well?
Nice, my lfs has one similar, it's prolly a bit smaller but it's going for $200 there. Is that a good price?
