    Hey everyone, well havent been on in a long time. dont even know how long...just along time. my tank has been doin very well and corals are growing and lookin great!!!!

    today i got a stalk of xenia and 2 yellow toadstool (which was 50 bucks for 2 thought it was good so i went for it).

    the only thing that doesnt seem to be doing so well any more is the flower pot :(:(:-/:-/:cry::cry:

    but other then that everything is growing.....GSP is a weed i swear !!!!!! and my carpet anenome grew SOOO MUCH since i got it. i have only had it for about a month and its trippled in size, maybe more

    Flowerpot is a hard one to keep alive. I'll never buy one again. Alveopora being easier than goniopora.

    I have read they starve to death in captivity, most within 6 months.

    I would have to disagree with that statement, I've had a Flower Pot for a little over a year and going strong and growing. Heres a pic.

    Im sorry War, I keep on forgetting that a flower pot is the same as a goni, your right about that. I have had one now for just about a yr and he hasnt died yet, but doesnt come out. Luna
