One of my Goniporas will not open!?!?

[WinterHarkins]

So I have a lot of other corals from euphyllia to zoas ect. Everything else is open and happy. I keep my KH as close to 8 as possible. Ph is a stable 8.15.
Even my other Gonipora is open.

What do you guys think?

Did you find out why? My Goni, hasn’t opened since I bought him

These corals are very picky tbh i have some that are awesome and thriving in one area and some that dont work in the same area. Flow and lighting play a huge part. Tbh i know some very experienced reefers that cant even keep gonis in there tanks no matter what they do or where they put it and have huge success with everything else...amd i mean everything else...its finding that sweetspot for each particular one....hope it all works out

Wow, pretty old thread haha. Anyway I find my flowerpots take the longest to adjust to a new tank. All the other corals are great and growing while these gonis would just remain closed for weeks on end. The longest I’ve had one close was for about 2 and 1/2 months. Now it’s doing great and growing new polyps too. I would just give it time and make sure you aren’t blasting it with too much light/flow as well

I found that out too, because I have a laffy taffy Goni/ but now they called bernardpora I think that’s how you spell it lol. But the laffy taffy one opened up quickly in my tank in a certain spot.. and once I got this new Goni called Superman ( nice bright pink/red one) and I moved the laffy taffy to out the Superman in the position, the laffy taffy doesn’t open up anymore in the new spot I have it now… so I had to move it back to its original spot, and the Superman hasn’t open, at all. I can see his flower head or polyp just show up a tiny bit out it’s skeleton… and i haven’t seen it melt or loose color.. so I’m hoping it doesn’t die…
