Here's a thread with information from those who have keept specimens alive for years.
http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=315121 hope this helps for those who are interested in, or at least a starting point in a compilation of requirements for the keeping of these corals. |

tried 3x. all died. just gave up. and then bought this nice flat LR with lots of pink coralline. a week later saw three small frag of goniopora alive (one had 1/2 ball dead.). This was around late November - early december 2003.
They are still alive. I cannot figure why this frags survived?

I like your thread drock Im sorry if you feel that were off track I agree with you but to a point. I really do believe that coral research is something we as caretakers of these animals should be worried about I dont ever say to anyone get this coral I did it so can you! No I state pretty much the same things that you do. However according to you and others If I did not buy it would it not have died anyway?
R. I know the owner of my LFS and have watched many corals that should have been fed flat out die and believe me where ever he bought it would not take it back and nor should they. |

The main problem with buying a doomed animal from a LFS is that you show the LFS there is a market for them, so they replace the one they sold with another, which is also almost guaranteed to die in a hobbyist's tank.

Your right he did that right after I asked why would you do that. However I do like challenges of nature and as stated earlier in fifty or so years they will not live even if they stay on the reef because there will be little or no reefs left.
