websurfer - based on what you said today was your 13th anniversay with the wife? If that's true, happy anniversary!
I used to have so much xenia that while I was fighting to get rid of the weed I was throwing hunks of it away LOL! After a lot of work getting rid of it I just added a new piece back in the tank. I must be crazy, but my wife loves the stuff. If you get any put it up high (it grows & spreads upward & sideways), or on a rock you can remove.
Are you sure it's a Goniopora? Alveopora look similar but are a bit easier to keep alive. I think Alveopora has 12 "tentacles" per polyp, and Goniopora has 24. A lot of lfs (and reefers) don't know the difference as they look so similar.

Yup sure is and thank you
And to the other question really not sure if it is Goniopora or Alveopora
It looks like 24 per to me

Yes, this! If you're going to get some, it's a good thing you really like it because you may soon have more than you know what to do with.
