Pink Goniopora retracted

[Roatan Reef]

Funny how we all have a couple types of corals that just don't work in the tank.

Sometimes certain coral will thrive in one person's tank and die in another's. I'm in the latter when it comes to goni, can't keep them alive no matter what. High nutrients low nutrients different light flow etc. They just wither away while other lps thrive. Last batch I tried where cultured in a fellow members tank and thriving there. Looked good for a few weeks then stopped extending and died. This tank at the time was 7 years old with NO3 15 PO4 0.4 alk 8.0-8.3 pH 8.3 when tested. Just saying

Yep...sadly, I'm Still a sucker for Gonis....I'm close to trying 1 more, and...

I've lost 2 so far, but I'm probably a dummy telling myself the tank wasn't ready for them, so I'll dump another $75 to see if I can get one past 6 months.
