Those are amazing! I am really tempted, but I have had poor luck with gonis. I love them, and hammers, and frogspawns and acans and chalices and all other LPS corals do well in my tank, but for some reason, gonis always just fade away eventually. What's your secret?

I have no idea why gonis have such bad reputation to be honest.
Don't see any special requirement with water, just know they don't like too much flow. I feed them and one thing I think also matters is their condition during transport. Their tissue is very delicate and while handling lots of care must be taken.
If pressed too hard, the tissue in some spots can die, and it can take the corals health.
Sometimes it recovers and others the whole piece dies gradually...
My colonies have been doing ok and no special care is taken. When I first got this coral, I read calcium must be kept steady at optimum levels, so maybe that is something some reefers fail at when keeping LPS only tanks.
