i recently bought a flowerpot coral and when i saw it at the store it looked awesome and it was all blossomed. when i took it home i went to put it in my hospital tank for a day. the next morning i went to take a look at it, it blossomed a little, and when i went to put it in the tank. i was hoping the next couple of days it will blossom. but it didnt. can anyone give me suggestions.

looks dead to me. Gornioporas are a very difficult coral to keep alive. There should be no reason to QT inverts or corals before adding them to the display tank.

Have you tested your water quality? Gonioporas may be very hard to keep long term, but in the short run they are usually pretty hardy. What kind of lights do you have them under? There are lots of reasons to quarentine corals before adding them to the display, take it from someone that fought Montipora eating nudibranchs for over a year after introducing them via a traded frag Also had a nice fight with flat worms that came in on a coral from the LFS. Copper would definitely do it, so if your hospital tank was treated you can only hope for the best. HTH

If you used copper to treat fish in the Q tank before, theres a good chance your flower pot dying. I don't know if it will affect your main tank after you moved it in from the Q tank. Hope you didn't add any water from the Qtank to your display tank.

I don't see ANY tissue recession, and it obviously isn't dead, but I do wonder if the tank was ever treated with anything?? Gonioporas are impossible to keep long term at this point.......yes I said "impossible", and if you get 18 months, consider yourself lucky,and expect MUCH less. Could just be adjusting to a new tank just like most any coral will do. What the tank setup? where is it placed?
