When you say it had cyano grow over it my guess is that it was actually the infection that tends to claim lots of Gonis. Unfortunately I'd say it's probably a goner. However, if that's a polyp I see then there is still a possibility!Or is it just closed up? It's been like this for about a week, some cyano grew over it which irritated it I think about week ago and I blew it off
I agree, more often than not, I regret moving corals rather than giving them more time to potentially recover.It's a catch-22, especially if it is recovering slightly. Myself, I'd be inclined to not stress it further (at least for a little while, anyway), but ultimately you probably have a better vantage point to observe how it's actually doing.
this seems to be the case with mineSeveral months ago I had a bad outbreak of cyano killed off some corals and my goni's where gone. Well now that I have everything under control again a couple of my flower pot corals (goniopora is one of them) are sprouting. I never remove the skeletons just for this reason.
what is that infection called? is there a treatmentWhen you say it had cyano grow over it my guess is that it was actually the infection that tends to claim lots of Gonis. Unfortunately I'd say it's probably a goner. However, if that's a polyp I see then there is still a possibility!
Toxins and likely took it down. Goni generally is not forgiving like many corals. Goniopora are a photosynthetic coral so they derive some of their nutritional requirements from light. This is done through a symbiotic relationship with dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae that live in the flesh of the coral. The dinoflagellates are actually the photosynthetic organism and the Goniopora colony derives nutrients off of the byproducts of the dinoflagellates’ photosynthetic process. Zooxanthellae is usually brown in color and the coral tightly regulates the population living in its flesh. Too little light will cause the coral to turn brown in color.what is that infection called? is there a treatment
