Hi guys , so i've recently got this flower pot coral on impulse .
After doing a bit of research . i found out that this type of corals are extremely tough to keep and requires lots of feeding .
Its slowly beginning to extend its polyps as u can see in this photo :
Apparently theres two types of gonio , the encrusting ones and the non-encrusting ones . I heard that the encrusting one are much easier to keep than the non-encrusting ones , Is that true ?
If it is easier to keep , I plan to target-feed it mysis shrimp/ rotifers on a weekly basis .
since it does have a symbiotic relationship with algae , it should be able to make its own food right ?
Also , i bought a branching hammer coral and a open brain coral . They are slowly acclimizing to my tank parameters and are doing real good . The only concern i have is , would i be able to keep this gonio ?
