The pastel neon goni...what is that called and where did you get it? You have some great corals, but I am a goni geek, so this particularly drew my attention
I don’t believe it’s a goni. Some kind of cousin. Bernardapora maybe. Or something undocumented. Hybrid. Who knows. See posts 19-21. The vendor who originally had it, charged $750 for a tiny nug of it approx 7 years ago. I believe only one was sold. Then they lost their parent colony. That nug grew into the parent colony mine came from. It’s very sensitive, and very slow growing. I bought the last frag last week.
I can get you a seller who has this other pastel goni, I’m happy with mine. Due to the rainbow coloration, frags have the colors only for the section they were cut from. I was lucky and got a frag with all the colors, pink, yellow, and green (left side) but any frag should be able to develop all the colors as it mature
If anyone is interested in this one I can post a link. There’s a few left last I checked

This is one of my favorite acans i have right now. It was originally a solid purple but it is really starting to color up nice. Pictures from my phone do not do it justice, the yellowish stripes are actually a nice "peach" color and the area around the mouth is a more of a mauve color that transitions to the deeper purple.

yup id say its 100% a bernardpora. looks exactly like the bernardpora i just got from living reef orlando.and that brings us to present day. I eagerly await the coral to encrust more and to fill in this tile. I have numerous other gonis, all of them open fully and extend fully every day. This rainbow thing, it’s gone weeks without extending at all then extends random polyps at will. It’s skeletal structure doesn’t look like a goni that died on me a while back.
I’m starting a new tank and was thinking. I really really like this coral but it will take a huge amount of time for it to grow enough for me to frag it and put in a second system. And then I thought if this randomly dies or if my tank has an issue, it could be irreplaceable and I should have a second frag, in my second system for redundancy. I reached out the seller asking if he had any more of it. HE HAD ONE FRAG LEFT. I bought it. It arrived March 1.
Pictures in my hand are arrival day, pictures on the green rack is from today. It has not extended yet but it’s open and adjusting. Looking forward to growing this out as well
Final pictures are the parent colony under actinic and daylight. Seller tells me this is how the coral is all day long once it’s established.
This is not a micro goni that stays short with an occasional long tentacle here and there. It’s not really a regular goni also. I really suspect bernardapora but would need more experienced experts to give their opinion. The parent colony is mounted on a flat 3 or 4” grow out tile
Much better in person...
