tHEcONCH Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Except when it is dark - does it have jetlag? Are the lights too bright during the day? tHEcONCH has it in a low/medium flow, and about 8000-9000 Lumens of light. Why is it so shy?

reef Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Gonipora need plenty of current and medium light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 They are a very difficult coral. A few people keep them and they do well but for most people they slowly fade away and die. I once had one once which was in a very bad state when I got it, I fed it and it did well and actually grew a bit, but if I didn't feed it it would go backwards. Eventually I got tired of messing around with it & gave it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hmmm... maybe it is opening at night in response to when I feed the Sun Corals. I still find it odd that it closes when the main lights come on. I guess I might just up the flow a bit and try feeding it directly - what did you feed your one with?

wasp Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 What I used was a product called Reef Solutions, it comes in a bottle and you just tip a little in the tank each day, it's excellent stuff for may types of soft corals. Some people have had success by directly feeding the goniopara small type food such as cyclopeez although I haven't done that myself.

davidb Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 yes thats the stuff I'm looking for at the moment, and cyclopeeze, everyone seems to be out of the stuff. what about reef-roids, tried them wasp? (oh and thanks for the table top acro it looks awesome ) Sorry for stealing your thread Mr. Conch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Well, after a few days feeding with ReefRoids and random green algae off the side of the glass, it is on the mend. I think it might have just been very stresses from shipping etc. I can see its little blue tentacles reforming nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeh1 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Reefroids is simply the best coral food I have ever used. FULL STOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
