You're probably gonna get bashed for not researching what you bought

Good luck !

meh i make mistakes im only human :biggrin:

Kinda just did ;)


Ummm by the looks of your sand, your tank must be quite new? Sorry I can't help with your exact specimen but you've come to the right area for help...

my tanks is a year old, i add more sand about four months ago. i definitely will be doing more research before buying. but regardless it cant hurt to try and save it. :mrgreen:

Get your google on and research...

The green ones are hard to keep . Once taken from the reef they slowly die. I had one about four years ago it lived for about a year and a half . Some people have luck with them tho . Beautiful coral but very sentiseve to parameter changes good luck.

Looks like its melting to me I have a green long tentickle and its actually doing OK mabie you cab save it there a hard coral to keep in my opinion should stay in the wild

i have been it was mostly just a lot of articles about how doomed it was that was a good read alot more positive that's for sure. i got reef roids to start off im thinking i will try phytoplex to.

-thank you

Your gonio appears to be retracted,what's your flow?ime they like low flow and have you checked your iron?

Goniporia longer term need proper food and water quality and you'll be fine, try feeding some powdered or liquid coral food there is lots out there,

Reef roids
gonipower
marine snow
anything for filter feeding type foods. i try to target feed mine every other day and it seems happy

also they need pretty good water and I've noticed low phosphates try that
