Goniopora Closed Up

[Todd31]

Well, even though i know they are tough to keep i grabbed a pink/yellow goniopora and it looked great for a couple weeks. Now its all closed up. I had started it midway in the rockwork and once it closed i tried oving it lower thinking it might want less light. Alk/calcium/temp are stable. Anything else i can try other than lower light and flow?

I had one that clownfish decided to host so had to get rid of it because it stayed closed when they bothered it do you have clowns

 

[Todd31]

a clown but i dont think he goes near it... he host the back corner of the tank...

Sell it or give it to someone who have success with these corals fast.

the dreaded goniopora so beautiful but yet so delicate should be left in the ocean

I can nurse it back for you and you can have it back once it bounces back and your tank is ready. Just pm me

 

[gpscuba]

Same here could hold on to it for you if you need me to pm

Mine are open and full extension direct flow makes them close up a bit or when fish mess with it let me know if you want to get rid of it or trade
