New member here! :yo: I didn't see a show-off thread for goniopora, but hopefully there are enough of us succeeding with flower pot corals to warrant one, because I would LOVE to see more of these! Here's mine:

Made this close-up pic my screen saver. :love:
It's a bit pinker than it looks in person; I'd say the true color is halfway between the pink in close-up shots and the red you see in my FTS:

I don't know which species I have, but it's defied the difficult label these carry, since I do nothing special for it. I have low to medium flow in my tank and broadcast feed once or twice a week. I see it catch food each time, but I don't make any effort to target feed.

I bought it as a tiny frag in a local shop about a year and a half ago:

One of my best coral purchases to date! Anyone else have one doing well?

What is the orange and white coral below the flowerpot?

This pink goni we have has been in captivity for 20 years. It's about the size of a small tire.

Thank you! That's the pyramid butterfly (Hemitaurichthys polylepis). Reef safe.

Howdy @PeterEde . Here is what I currently run:

ALK: 9.20 - 9.30
CALCIUM: 425 - 445
MAGNESIUM: 1400 - 1425
Phosphate - .10 - .15
Nitrates - 10-15

I do feed LRS REEF FRENZY, dose live phytoplankton & maybe twice a week dose REDSEA AB+.

I did not dose live phytoplankton until recently though!!

 

[EakTheFreak]

This was after RED SEA AB+ tonight!!

Just a few of what I have. I can’t wait to get better at photography to post more of my gonis. Everything is taken with the flipper deepsee magnifier with the orange lens add on with an iPhone 14 pro. No post editing either.

Those are great! I’m pumped, picking up Amazeballs Goni @ Frag swap 02/25.

Putting it next to my Glitter bomb for one heck of a display if I can get it happy!!
