feeding gonipora?
« on: June 29, 2017, 22:23:54 »
How many people are feeding their goni?  I have had several frags of goni over the years and have not had long term success with them.  The last one I got from lazy is doing great and I have been feeding it at least once a week.  I have a frozen mixture of rotifers, pods and cyclopeeze that I dissolve in tank water and use a long pipette and have been gently squirting it into the goni's mouths.  So far it seems to be really helping out alot.  I have been thinking of trying gonipower to see how well that works.  Tell me of your experience with your goni.

I don't spot feed but like you feed every day Ocean Gumbo which has a lot of tiny small micron food such as; oyster feast, copepods, rotifers, pod porridge, phyto, and selcon.

I don't spot feed either but feed like lazy does so it can get stuff out of the water column.

I went ahead and ordered some goniopower to try.  I have noticed that since I have been spot feeding the tenticles have been extending longer.  dont know if it is because of the feeding or my water parameters are getting more to its liking.

I have never spot fed mine, but the more I get my tank geared toward SPS, I have been considering it.
