Hi Alf3482, what do you feed them? From what I have heard they like phytoplankton.
I feed Dt's 3 times per week.

SPC I give my ginoporas no more than what i do for every one else in the tank. I do dose Dt's 3 times per week i put 40mls in a 125 gal tank that these are in. Good current flow on the Ginoporas, they need to stay clean, i give my Ginoporas more current than i do my sps corals. If they get something on them I blow them off with a turkey baster. they do not like tanks with a lot of hair algea growth, as it will cause the tissue to die off if HA attaches to them.
I read some research papers that say that iodine is a good medication for them, can't rememeber where the artical was, I think I got a link from Mary's site a few years back. So each time I have purchased one i give them a Iodine medicated bath 20 min a day for two weeks then I left them alone. they have all showed great signs when Dt's is added to the tank. polyp extention is increased by at least 10% the following few days.
Sorry it's been so long I don't come to this board very often I forgot that it does not e-mail you a response i'll try to keep up with this a little better.
