Do goniopora move by itself to find a comfortable spot? i place my on top of the LR but keep dropping down. wondering it was disturb by some crab or it move by itself.

no they do not eat them. maybe just picking some left over foods/ pods.

not opening coz the shrimps are irritating it. chase them away

water flow should not be too strong and cannot blow direct at them.

it now on the sand bed. is that fine? but seem like the shrimp are kicking it around because it relatively small. is there anything i can do about it?

eh camel shrimps are known to eat corals... though not all.

all the while thought they are reefsafe but went to do a check up after Lemon's posting and realise that they do nip some soft corals.

maybe isolate them and monitor if gonio opens larger.

are they good cleaner? paid the price of 1 goni and camel shrimp to realise pepermint is a different breed.
