Could some Gonio expert help me out why my 2 gonioporas are not extending?
They currently look like 2 happy fluff balls but they are not coming upwards.
They are in about 120 par with a gentle flow from left to right.
They are in my tank for about 4-5 weeks now.

The only problem i can see in my parameters is that i'm still trying to lower my nitrates wich is at 60.
Me lowering my nitrates means there is a small instability in my phosphates & nitrates ofcourse.
I dose a small amount of modern reef polyp pop & complete reef food every day, so they actually get coral food every day.
Other than that i don't dose anything else except Nopox.

Please ask me questions to help me out :)

Off top of my head…
Manganese depletion
Too high of par
Not happy with flow direction
Species…there are several species of Goni and some are short, some medium, some long. Have you seen this exact one extend longer?
