Goniopora

Many aquarist's  I know have tried to keep Goniopora species without success - However, it seems there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. From my research including speaking to coral exporters, reading articles and through my own experience a key to keeping these types of corals alive has to do with feeding. From what I have read these particular corals come from areas which are high in nutrients therefore, the demise of these corals in captivity may be linked to low nutrient levels. Apparently different species of gonioporas may require different types of food - therefore, it is best to try feeding a variety of different types of food i.e frozen foods, or micro diets which you can normally find at your local fish store.. If you have good quality water i.e. low nitrates, KH 8 - 12 and good calcium levels you might want to try feeding your coral 3 - 4 times per week.
