    Is it as difficult/impossible to keep as the "regular" Goniopora?

    I would refrain from purchasing Goniopora! Their are so many other beautiful choices with a much better success ratio, that I would leave them to viewing in the natural reefs rather than seeing them wither away in your tank!

    They sure are pretty, but will die in time (personal experience).
