    its was sold to me as a "green flowerpot", so I read up alot on goniporas, and cant find the exact species, the closet I can come to is Stutchburyi. I wish I had read up on it instead of acting on impulse as they all decline and die according to the majority of info out there. :angry: Although there are people fragging the Stutchburyi's so Im wondering if they having success with these? Anyone have any experience here?

    I did find this pdf that has some info in it on some successes: http://www.korallenriff.de/Sindelfingen2006/Germany-neu2.pdf

    Not sure about the one you have but in general a very difficult coral as far as longevity, maybe 6-12 months in the aquarium. Each polyp must be fed individually, I think at least 2 times a week. They are kind of a hassel if you don't have the time or patience for them. Mine lasted 6 months.

    I had this one;

    i got a coke bottle bottom cut out, and just fog it with super fine blended mixed food. every two or three days. I feed my sps with the fog also just no bottle. I have a skimmer but its not hooked up, I cut my cheato in half once a week! LOL
