Yellow Daisy Goniopora

[Marz]

I was able to pick up a small frag of this wonderful coral. I have had it for a week now and it seems to be doing very well. In my research it suggest "gonipower" or "reefroids" to feed. I am sure that many of you have or are having success with goniopora's, and I would like to get some suggestions.

Here's a pic:

If you don't attach to anything I recommend just getting tank water mixing a bit of reef roids in a container and just set it in there if it ever isn't doing well.

can i feed directly or is this generally too hard?

 

[unibob]

You can, but it ends up becoming a broadcast feed of whole tank sort of thing. Because it's so fine (which the goni is able to eat) it kinda just floats around.

I know your tank isn't "full" as most people I think broadcast feed and every coral gets a little bit

Thanks very much!....will get some reefroids this week.

I've had success in the past with them by placing it on the sand bed by itself. Then you can cut the top half of a 2L pop bottle and place it over the coral in the tank. Then feed through the opening of the pop bottle. This will keep the reefroids centralized around it to allow time for it to feed.

I know this question might be out of place, but that goni looks red to me, not yellow. or am I colour blind?

what success have you guys had with gonis? I hear only the Ora Red is hardy. Others die usually after six months.

Yes, my picture isn't very good. The inside is yellow. I will try and get a better pic.

Hopefully this is a better pic...a little out of focus though.
