Our goni’s and alveo’s are looking for good in their new home I just had to share! The red ones finally came out a few days ago

Please share pics of your favorites!

Sea chicken also wants to say “Hi!” He’s shamelessly photobombing as always

Here are a few. I wish I could get a better picture of the orange one (lady taffy) the stalk is a crazy neon purple and it’s so nice orange in real life. My current happiest is the good old 13.00 pet co on the glass.

Here’s mine, way at the end of my peninsula. Any tips on how to get it to really extend and look nice? The polyps are eating and the coloration is great but they just won’t extend.

I'm a big believer in providing a lot of flow to encourage growth

Thanks, they’re right in front of the power head (as you can see) ik they get plenty of flow because the yellow and green/purple hammers are waving around. Was wondering if it was possibly like a short stalked version or something? If those even exist

Yes I love it when they extend! We thought ours was on its way out started dosing amino and a/b+ and a few weeks later it was back!

We have some flower pot goni’s we have greenish and reds. It took a few weeks for them to acclimate but now their doing great in a high flow area.

At first we spot fed/dosed aminos and then moved to a mix of amino|Red Sea a/b+. Goni’s are known to be shy/fickle when first added to a tank. We had a flower pot that took months to extend, but after started the dosing it’s extending out more than we’ve ever seen it. If I can catch it tomorrow I’ll post a pic.

Your tank is awesome btw! I would love to have a peninsula tank in the future!

It’s called TSA Laffy Taffy Goni. I think auto correct corrected incorrectly.
That Looks like it was spelled right! I’ll do my daily TSA browse. Was hoping to get a Goni/ Alveo from the WWC sale still haven’t been lucky

Pics of our flower pots. The blue/green one took months to do what it’s doing now. Not quite fully extend but close. The red flower pot was a little better about a month of dosing I fully expect it to extend further. We got it at our local LFS they have a large colony in the display tank that’s amazing!
