Goniopora Coral

[kksg2000]

I got this Goniopora Coral. The coral receded into it's skeleton when the light is off and once light was restored it expended fully again and is doing well. Is this normal?

My second Goniopora Coral does not expend after 2 days inside my tank, is this normal for a coral to expend fully only after weeks if in a new environment?

yes normal for corals to go to "slp" mode after lights off... sometimes certain corals need a longer time to get used to new condition. but this coral is known to be hard to keep alive. gd luck to u

They dont like much of direct wave. I had one servive for about one year.

Hi there, firstly goniopora is hard coral and they need very intensive light (MH). It's not a gd species for beginner reefer. The prefer moderate water flow around them and not exactly at them.
