    Nice one, I have had one for about 3 weeks or so, so im no expert by any means but it looks like you might have the flow a little high.

    My flow is a little more subtle, and I get amazing polyp extension.

    I agree with the above post. It looks like it has too much flow, but that is an AWESOME piece!

    Agreed with all, slightly high water flow, and awesome looking coral!

    I wish you the best of luck with this beautiful coral because from what I have gathered they are not the easiest coral to keep alive.

    Thanks for the replies! I was debating on the flow as well. In store it had just a little less. I will see what it looks like tomorrow and fiddle with the powerheads. You know for only having 2 koralia evo 1400s, I get some crazy flow in this tank!

    I find they will tolerate fairly high flow so long as it's not too laminar...agreed very nice looking Goni...good luck...some people have great success and other not so much with this coral...only time will tell.

    Here it is today. I moved the powerhead on the left side of the tank to point a little more upwards and these polyps really came out!
