    A follow up on this thread...

    Read that if you get a cultered / tank raised / fragged Gonipora they are WAY more healthier and hardier. Also, the red one is more hardier then the greens. My friend just got a frag off a guy with this HUGE red colony. He has one bright red with orange in the center and that one is really "puffy" (looks like a swollen version of mine.) and a long tenticled one that looks like your typical swaying flower pot (like Emmett Hood's TOTM).
    All of which are red aqua-cultered and still living.
    There has been no studies proven to any solid form of feeding. Some claim they feed with the skimmate from the skimmer and drip it over the colony. I myself don't plan on putting the stuff I try to skim back in. and some say it accepts unprocessed food from fish excretion... all of this unproven and in all the books I've read, they all say there is no proven "one way" of how to keep this coral.

    It's one of the guys at his work. I guess he didn't learn from the first time they did it to him. When he leaves his account logged in at his computer at work, and he leaves himself open to their games. He's probably already got his counter strike planned out though. ;)
