Goniopora

IMO clownfishes and cleaner shrimps will cause goniopora to be very very disturbed.

Hi Razo,

It is a goniopora also known as flowerpot coral. Look very nice under actinic. It's normal for the polpys to extend that long, mine does extend long ~3".

Read before and experienced that Clownfish will often play in its polyps if no anemone can be found in the reef aquarium.

foxface also. will host a gonipora :P

[SpiderOne]

ideal polyp extension would be like so

Replace the goniopora with a carpet anemone and watch the show!
