This is the 'moderate' difficulty flowerpot. I just put one in my tank as a test before making sps purchases since my mass coral die off. They are bottom-middle coral. Mine likes a moderate flow and as far from direct as possible. My marineland ph comes off one suctioncup sometimes and puts flow right on it. It is not pleased. But overall it is doing well and not very difficult so far. Im feeding a mix of different liquid coral food, though this is not required.

Is this flowerpot healthy?
An can you tell me what kind it is so that I can look it up?

Flower Pot Coral, Short Polyp

It looks fine to me. You'll know when it is upset, all of the polyps will be fully retracted into the skeleton.

This is it in that actual color, and where I got mine from.

Goniopora - Green
