    Hey guys. I bought a green goniopora today from the lfs. Got it home and got it in the tank and now its opening up and then completely closing up about every fifteen minutes. Is this normal or do I have a problem. Also what are the conditions this coral needs to be kept under. High light/low? High flow/low? All the normal things you like to know about a new coral. I'm really liking this one so I want to keep him as healthy as possible.

    Update. The coral has settled in nicely and stopped the opening and closing every fifteen minutes. Here's a pic.
