my goniopora couldn't take it any more it started to come apart at the base releasing that beige jell, in two days it went all around it and got hard like a ball spongy looking when I pulled it out it had a foul odor like if it was rotting it stayed blown up and would not retract I guess it's true their not easy at all to keep is better if we leave them in the ocean.:cry:
 
thanks for the thought hopefully theirs reefers out there that have had better luck is true what they say they don't last I guess that infection is in them and maybe the stress turns it on who knows.
 
I bought one a year ago, did great for a few months, I tried everything in the book and thought I was doing great. But then I found a worm eating it. The worm turned the same color as the Goni so it was impossible to see... wtf? I ended up removing it and then the Goni never recovered and did the same thing as yours. After that I said no more.
 
like I said is better in the ocean why buy them because their beautiful and at the end die ,we still don't understand what ticks them off I was seeing a video from paul talbot and he was explaining about their nutrition and how easily thy catch the jelly disease is an over all hard coral won't try it again
