Well guys thought I'd give you an update before the holidays.
I went down to my lrs and saw a coral off to the side away from the lights that looked a little stressed. I asked the store owner what was wrong with it and he said it had been there a few months and only opened once or twice. When I asked what the price was he said it was a goniopora and the original price was around $45 so I stuck around and looked at a few other things and kept coming back to it to show my interest. After about 30 minutes he came back and said if you really want it I can do $15 today only, so naturally picked it up and brought it home! After about 2 hours it started to open up. The first few pictures are of the first hour it was here in my tank after acclimation and the next set of pics are after about 6 hours in the tank with the lights on and it fully opened.
To tell you the truth guys I couldn't be any happier with this coral it looks happy and looks very healthy in my tank. I also picked up a nice 4lb rock with some coraline spots while I was there and i rearranged my tank a bit. Well that's enough talking guys heres some pics, enjoy, and happy holidays!
Cyano and hair algae. All the same battle, nutrients.
