I got a Goni from my brother about three months ago for my 24G nano cube. He had it for about a year before I got it but took down his 30G and instead of trading wanted me to take it so he could see how it survives, or does not...He gave me quite strict guidelines on keeping this thing and at first I hated having it, assuming it would just die but now its got a whole lot of new growth and is looking good! He wanted me to take it because I was not planning on using a skimmer in my nano cube as he had not used one in his. I spot feed it twice a week. It seems to eat any meaty food I offer it. I also feed phytoplankton every two days or so for all my corals.
Basically I just wanted to see how many other people have had success with Goni's for more than a year and how? I would love to see how long this guy makes it!
One question I have though is...Is it normal for it to extend at times a ridiculous amount? I mean, it really reaches! I used to think it was hungry or something but even after feeding it often will do this. Is this normal?
Also, when I got it from my brother it was kind of dull orange almost with a slight green on the ends of the polylps and it has really gotten much greener in my tank. Is this normal?
I hope to take some new pics soon if I can find my stupid battery charger for my camera...
