Definitely for now I would leave them be... best thing to do is just be patient with them. I hope for the best! Keep me posted interested in knowing the outcome.Thanks for the reply!!
The first picture is shortly after moving them, the second is now. Like I had mentioned they were only in contact for at most an hour.
I had fed them prior to touching, a mixture of Goniopower, fuel and phytochrome. I dose Nyos Absolute Aminos and Coral Nectar daily.
Top shelf aquatics Laffy Taffy Goni. It’s pricey (70-80) and it was small when I got it but it’s growing faster than the other guys. I wish I could get a better picture it’s almost embarrassing how bad it comes out. Amazballs and glitter Goni’s are on the wish list
That was a train of coral emotions I just went on... That must have looked awesome in the flow!Sorry this one
Keep me posted I definitely want to know how things go. My reef heart goes out to you and your goni's!
Amazing color! I have not seen that before on any site or at a LFS, the polyps look like alveopora (gonis have more polyps than alveo). With such a large colony and rare piece I wouldn't risk putting them close together for fear of losing either. It can be hit or miss though, just depends on how risky you want to be with the corals.Question for the goni experts. Which species can be close together and which ones can't mix?
Can someone ID this one
Thinking about adding it to an order I've already placed. Concerned about it being close to this one :
Initially I was a little hesitant to spend so much on a spec, but looking at what my colony above was 2 years ago I am fairly confident I could grow that out in a couple of years, just my tank is pretty jam packed...
The tentacles on that are amazing. You caught the lighting well on the tips!Here is mine. Clown just started hosting it last week.
I'm glad to see it! Hard to say what closes goni's up, ours for time was flow, then light, snails, shrimp I mean you name it. I know I've read they can be aggressive to other corals, but not typically within the species. I suppose in this time of social distancing its a sign we should practice that for our corals as wellWell it seems like the white Goni is mostly back to itself today...thankfully!! Not a great pic, but he does look nearly back to normal
I'm relatively certain it's alveopora (see tidal gardens pic) I'd love for someone to second that opinion. In your case I would leave some space for both and not risk coral warfare. All of my goni's and alveo have slowly but surely been placed together though it's been a few months process.

Glad to know you got the confirm on the rainbow goniopora?
I wouldn't resist either!
