New Green Goniopora

[nick76]

Ill post a picture tmro, the sucker blows up to about 4 inches across and looks very healthy

. Though im having problems finding it a place for it in my tank and I cant find any articles that that instruct where to place it other than in Low to medium flow. I have it on the sandbed atm(because it kept falling off the rock where I had it), possibly thinking about putting it on a piece of egg crate. Any thoughts?

the sand is a good low medium flow place.

Be careful! This coral is a lot nastier than it looks like. One, they are a little hard to keep, I've seen most die after about 18 months to 2 years, and, two, keep them about 6" to 8" away from any other coral you really want to keep. The Goniopora has tentacles that come out (usually at night) to feed and will sting anything within it's reach. Their sting is usually deadly to other corals.
