Mine although not Yellow prefers to be on a LR. I have tried to place it on the substrate but it did not open for a few days :(

is this true :blink: but they look so nice.. i check my tank condition and everrything is fine. all my other corals is opening well just the yellow gonio not opening well :( hope it don die in my tank.

These gonioporas or flowerpot corals in nature are all green and brown colored. What they do is they soak these corals in yellow dye and pass them off as yellow gonioporas. Same goes for the recent yellow cup corals or yellow tongue corals. These corals will only survive for a short time as they will expel their zooxanthellae as a result of being dyed. Slowly, you will notice them losing their intense yellow coloration as the dye slowly dissipates into your water. Once they lose all the dye, it will be obvious they are bleached due to stress. Healthy gonioporas are already hard to maintain in captivity, let alone dyed ones. Boycott all dyed corals!

You might want to consider throwing it away before it releases more dye or when it starts to die, contaminating your water in the proccess. It will never recover anyway.

Always something more important than fish.
