Bought a new frag from the LFS today - thay had it listed as Gonipora but just wanted to make sure? I just put it in the tank after acclimation so it is retracted in the pics below. Thanks!

OK, It was starting to poke it's head out while I was slowly adding tank water to the bag but right after I put it in the tank my lights went out. Hopefully it will wake back up in the morning!Thanks!

Yup...looks like gonipora. I wish you the best of luck...you do know the long trem survival rate is extremely poor right?

The Polyps are starting to come out but this is about as far as they have gotten! They have started coming out several times then they go back in, then start back out etc.. Should I start worying yet? The Frag has been in the tank almost 24 hours!

it may take a week for it to fully expand. though if it takes much longer it may be a goner. good luck! hope it all works out. like nm said they are not very reputible when it comes to survival.
