i agree with kip and you should do some research on them.........they tend to like anenomes and feather duters and some sps....i have never heard of the clam thing though i haven't researched this fish very well.....i would stay away from them intill you have kept other fish that are harder than a clown or something to keep

Skip the Goni....they dont do well in the home aquarium.

Yes I am aware that Flowerpots Goniopora, do not do well in captivity, however Ive been researching facts about these wonderfully beautiful fragile corals for some time now and Have discovered that They are found in shallow lagoon type boi reef systems where there is an ENORMOUS AMOUNT Of phytoplanktonic matter... of different sizes... So knowing this I have concluded that If you direct feed it some DT's LIVE PHYTOPLANKTON this will give it enough nutrition... also having a good amount of light helps as well!!! 4 watts a gallon I believe I have! VHOS!
So Im going to buy a small green goniopora and put it in a nice gentile current *medium current* and nice lighing... near top... and direct feed it 3 times a week... this should be good!
Ill let you know all in a few years if I still have it LOL!!!

so thats what Im going to try and attempt... some people have goooood luck with them ... esspecially if they have a fuge!!!
so wish me luck! My theory is if they are going to collect them.. mise well try and give them a chance!!!

buying them will just encourage them to collect.......what makes you think your theory is correct......what qualifies to find out reason for this when many great biolgist are still not sure.......i say leave it in nature where it belongs..

LOOK HERE... IF I MAY, BRAD!, I could really care less about your egotistical oppion... I am a Christian, and in own religon GOD put man over the earth, we have dominion.. so If I want a flowerpot and I want to test my theory I can... when They outlaw the collection of them... then I will not continue... however I will say, thank you for your concern on our wonderful aquatic ecosystem... good day!
