Goniopora ID and question

[Christopher Poore]

Hello all! I purchased my 3rd Goni the other day from my LFS. My first was a small pink one, and second was a large neon green piece.

This one is aqua blue and has a bright yellow center. As you can see in picture my other Goni's are doing great! They have beautiful extension and are both growing at a great rate!

The new one has been in the tank for a few days now but hasn't begun extending at all. Should I be expecting something different from this one? Is it a different Goni species than my current two??

Thank you all!

I am not sure on what type of gonipora it is but I don't know a lot about them.
I did however just order one online and it should get here Friday and I was wondering what type of lighting and flow they like?
It actually looks a lot like the green on you have in the right of your screen. They one I ordered is called a nuclear green gonipora. You have obviously had a lot of experience with them so I might as will ask.
Thanks;)

Great information links provided above. ^
The new coral could just be in acclimation mode. If it continues to not completely expand I would consider different placement.
