Goniopora help!!!!!

[whatcaneyedo]

Its toast and this is a very common occurrence. Like Kein said, they are pretty difficult to keep. I tried giving this advice to another junior member who recently bought one.

"For currently unknown reasons, Goniopora have a long history of failing to survive in the aquarium, often going into a slow demise for no apparent reason. The novice aquarist often buys a Goniopora coral and then boasts about its "long-term" survival after 6 months. However, Goniopora frequently thrive for up to a year or more before declining. Typically, they gradually fail to expand their tentacles and eventually either waste away or "shut down" (the polyps no longer open). Often, brown jelly infections occur that rapidly destroy all of the coral's living tissue."
