Nursing goniopora back to health

[Christa50]

This ausie goniopora was in the middle of my tank crash due to bacteria a couple of weeks ago. It turned into an green blob. No polyps to be seen for weeks. So I decided to start adding red sea two part coral food as well as stopping the pumps for an half hour and sprinkle some goni power over it with a turkey baster. Man this corals eat slowly. It took a good 15 minutes before one tiny piece of goni power was inside one of the polyps. But I added a before and now foto. Seems to have result.

In the middle you can see a polyp ingesting a piece of red plankton as wel as other open mouths. The proces of eating takes about 10 minutes
