Wow tahoe61 so the flowers will extend like that. That's wicked

Thanks everyone for reply

What conditions do these like high medium low flow where do they sit in the tank at the bottom. Or

+1 @Tahoe61 , looks like Avleopora.

It's a flowerpot.

Could be goniopora if 24 tentacles. Or avleopora if 12 tentacles. If you just introduced. Should open up in a day or so. If it does not. It is not happy.

 

[mcmunn93]

Yeah it's opened up good now looks amazing

 

[Myka]

Post a pic opened up...? Looks like Goniopora.

This is a pic when lights just settling for night I'll send a pic during the day.

When the lights are on and tentacles are out. Will be able to determine which it is. Care is about the same. Avleopora generally like water a bit cooler. And will parish in less than a year if too warm. I find gonipora more hardy.

Does yours look like post #9 (see link below).

Alveopora

 

[Myka]

Goniopora (noticed lots of tentacles on each polyp):

This is another photo of a Goniopora partially closed, and same color as yours (very common Goni color):

Alveopora (notice half as many tentacles on each polyp):

Here is an Alveopora partially closed up, similar color as frag in question:

It looks like it is a gonipora. But is not realy extended or open. If your water perimeters are in check. You may want to try moving it in your tank. Try different lighting intensity.
