Need help going down hill fast

[jrobbins]

if it helps i kept a goniopora for over a year before i sold it awhile ago. to feed it i used to mush up some mysis and cyclopeeze and put it in a turkey baster. i then cut the bottom off of a 2liter soda bottle. jam the baster into the neck of the bottle, put it over your goni and let it "stew" for a few minutes...worked for me...

Funny enough, 10 years ago that was the first coral I ever purchased and ended up pretty much like that one a few weeks later. It was thought until very recently that flower pot was impossible to keep in captivity for long periods, though a select few have found success. In order to maintain this coral it will require bi-daily feeding of baby brine or oyster eggs. Becareful of algae growth of were the tissue was lost. It is possible for it to grow back over time.

Gonipora aren't easy to keep, especially the long green ones that are usually sold at Flower Pot coral. Most will look like they're doing good but actually are slowly starving to death. They can sometimes last up to 6 months and then all of a sudden the tentacles don't open up and the coral just dies.

As posted above the Red with Blue eye, Green with blue tips and the Blue Gonipora are hardy and usually do well. The need to be placed towards the bottom with some flow on them. A lot of people don't feed them and they seem to do alright. I have a number in my tank for sometime now, which I don't feed, and they're doing very well/.

In my sump I have a refug in the middle, though I have a bunch of coral in it.

Today was the day R.I.P. I did a water change last night and today I lost pretty much what was left of the tentacles so I decided it was time to remove it before it fouled up my new water. Thanks for everyones responses. This was a lesson learned the hard way. One more pic of it while it was still fairly healthy
