Goniopora are known to be almost impossible to keep. They usually die after a year or so. Thatˇs the word on the street but itˇs not the whole truth. Personally, I took this statement as a challenge, and set out to change the way we looked at the care of this ¨impossible〃 coral. Until recently, I dare not say I have cracked the code on many Goniopora species. I have kept both Alveopora and Goniopora, and most of them have seen substantial growth in the past 18 months. I can now tell that it is possible to keep Goniopora alive, as long as you provide the proper care and feeding for the species in question.
