Hello R2R peeps!

[RudeDawg]

I bought a frag of UC Amazeballs back in February of this year and it has never opened up for me. I do have two other gonis that are doing great. One is a glitter bomb that I grew from a tiny frag that almost didn't make it. The other is a Hollywood nights that's growing and has great extension. I'll include images for reference.

I started dosing a drop of manganese 3 times a week because I read on r2r that it helps gonis recover? I must confess that I'm doing it blindly with no icp testing or knowledge of how much should be dosed. So far, I have not seen any improvement.

Looking for advice on what I can do to help the goni open up. Thanks.

I do a 2-3 gal water change weekly and dose afr.
26 gallon mixed reef nano
Salinity - 35ppt
Temp - 78°
No3 - 5ppm
Po4 - 0.07ppm
CA - 420

With goni’s sometimes they close up like this for no reason . Just leave them be , keep up your parameters and lighting . Don’t change anything to drastic . I had one that took almost a month to open . Oh and check for things that might be bothering it like bugs etc.
