May be price of Jewel is much lower than gonio

goniopora and jewel are exactly the same. jewel is just the trading name here in singapore when marine trading first started here. it's just a market name for it.

both are the same just that some are plate-encrusted and some are round like this one.

green are mostly round...blue, purple, pink are mostly encrusted on a plate of LR.

how big is it ? might wanna get it from u but dun have time to collect these days...

UPZ.

Actually Jewel and Gonio is different. Jewel is common name for Alveopora sp. Flowerpot is the common name for Goniopora sp. Their number of tentacles are different. Goniopora always has 24 tentacles while Alveopora has 12.
