Here for the music. Stayed for the coral. Subbed for the Jake.

[@zoanthusreef9988]

Been listening to that goniopora song for the past hour on repeat haha

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

it gets into your head right?

[@ferrari_guy3570]

What the story on that song?

[@EthanParker11]

Yeah, what's the song?! It's good.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

What is the song?!

[@FishandPeace]

COCONUT ! I didn't find my words... corals are fantastic

[@modotd3885]

What an informative and useful vid. Brilliantly presented.

[@undergroundreefs6523]

I will elaborate on my personal experience with fragged gonis/alveos vs imported ones. Protozoan bacterias form on them just like brown jelly with imported euphyllia. ones that have been fragged are ones that have survived long enough to adapt to aquarium water and not begin to have LPS-RTN (protozoan bacteria). and typically if you are growing out fragged lps youre not going to import corals and put those in the same tank. I have put imported flowerpots with healthy colonies that were in captivity for a year and melted all of them and that's when my research started on these. all of the stuff in their skeletons important as well but anyone who has killed a flowerpot can see how quick they can melt, the biggest thing there is to prevent it from spreading.

[@zafishguy5166]

Very interesting.

[@phongc8880]

that's happen to my tank this last 2 weeks. 😳

[@tplummer217]

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Modern advances in Reefing have really enabled long term success with Goniopora and Alveopora 👌 Thanks for stamping out the myths!

[@artofwar-3263]

Thanks for dropping the knowledge on this coral Jake, everything is looking spectacular !

[@cooperdodson7518]

Just got my first goni frag yesterday and I'm already loving it. Surprised with how fast it opened and acclimated to my tank.

[@jasonlanger4118]

I started my flowerpot coral collection last fall and I'm up to 26 pieces of Goniopora and 5 pieces of Alveopora; well... now I know that at least three of my gonis are now Bernardpora corals. Great video!! Now I want to buy some more!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yeah me too, but now there's going to be a rush on flowerpot corals, lol

[@BonesSaw1979]

Can you put alveo near goni?

[@customaquascapeltd]

Great video would love to see more like this on individual corals and care tips , keep up the great work 👍

[@dannydingdingable]

I'm new to the hobby. My water Box will be here in 2 weeks. I can't wait to have all these amazing live corals. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't completely overwhelmed. I feel like I need a degree in marine biology to keep things happy and healthy. I am however up for the challenge! These videos are very helpful. My best game plan is research, study, repeat. I want my eco system to flourish. Wish me luck!🐠🐡🐟

[@deanfielding4411]

How’s it going 2 years in?

[@theurbanartist775]

So how’s it going?

[@timothygonzales7883]

Danny dingable if u are dedicated ,and serious about keeping corals in an aquarium I can tell u I was new to the hobby about 3 yrs ago ,but I have learned so much from the KZbin videos,and by just reading lots and lots of literature. My nano tank at one time had so much coral in it . For me it was mesmerizing. Now I have an 86 gallon bowfront aquarium with a flex 4 in 1 sump.Now I have to save money 4 a protein skimmer, but anyways good luck Dannny!

[@GazuntaiWorld]

I always learn a thing or two from watching your videos. Thanks.

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

This video is perfect timing. Thanks jake!

[@Waynerock77]

My favorite Coral ever I have seven of them in my tank all thriving. Definitely some of the best movement corals you can get and with some of these new species coming out Amazing colors

[@12fishy]

Love all the videos, thanks for the in-depth videos. I couldn’t be reefing if these videos weren’t around. Thank you.

[@hunterh891]

I love flowerpot corals and this is a very informative and great video thanks again!

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Thank you I have one and didn’t even know it! Thanks for giving me so much info to grow it

[@Joshthereefer]

Haha I love the song at the end! Great video!

[@miguelsalty]

Your editing skills are crazy! I enjoy this style of video, maybe more videos on various corals 🥺🙏🏼

[@willmar2778]

I had these six years ago and could only keep them for 3-4 months alive than overnight they would start dying but they were wild caught ones. I will try these again like you said from a frag. Thanks for putting this out great information.

[@kevinw7044]

Love Goni’s. I have a small frag which has been with me for almost a year now.

[@gabesreef]

Please do more lps spotlight videos. Lobo and Catalaphyllia..... the big ones!!!!

[@MrMushroomish]

I thought you said "just incredible", but his name is "Justin Credable" XDDDD Im gonna bet his parents had that in mind

[@ronderfulaquariums2978]

I always learn so much from your channel awesome content creator

[@nhall00195]

I feed my gonis dry pellets. Going strong for 4 years and fragged many babies.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

you feed like big whole pellets directly onto them?

[@nhall00195]

Reef Builders small formula marine pellets (ocean nutrition). Yep, straight on top. I guess they turn to mush within a minute or so

[@aquatic_reef_guru1019]

These corals are a must have!!

[@reefjunkies6197]

Amazing just amazing

[@303BG]

Great info thanks. I now know that what I thought was a goni in my tank is a bernardpora. Short and red with yellow mouth

[@petesreef1891]

Great vid Jake love my gonis got 9 different types of them, just want to say adding manganese to keep it at nsw levels helps them flourish polyp extension etc. I add it daily to my reef as it is used up very quickly if you have a fuge with chaeto . Had mine for over 2 years they often throw off baby ones .Good articles about manganese addition for these on the web 👍👍👍

[@traianhernandez6695]

I love flower pots! Got 3 alveaporas, and 4 gonis including a glitter bomb (my favorite)! All doing well, though a few weeks ago my pink goni closed up for well over a week, and looked like it was starting to bleach, which prompted me to move it to a lower light, slightly lower flow area, it reopened after 2 days in the new location, and has since started to recover it's color. When I did a PAR test on the tank, the original location was in a middle rock section towards the bottom 3rd of the rock, but it was directly under one of my Radions XR30 G5 blues, and that spot tested at 220 PAR. The new spot is at just over 100 PAR. Lesson learned!

[@MHoran86]

I haven't had much luck with either species yet, but was told that after a year to 18 months, once a tank has stabalized the chances of keeping them alive would increase. With that said I haven't tried them out since my first try in fear that I would just end up killing them, but thanks for some tips and info, I'll definitely keep what you said in mind when I'm on the hunt again

[@steveadamowicz848]

Great video on my favourite corals

[@connerfall]

Miss you jake

[@tofppm2148]

Cool Merci pour ces explications c’est toujours un grand plaisir Merci Merci 🇫🇷 Obrigado 🇵🇹👍😘😍💪🤟✌️❤️❤️

[@shabbir78]

your video intro music is always unique and different..👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

[@timothyboles6457]

Glad you did this video. I was mistakenly identifying Goni's as Xenia or a type of GSP

[@MakerofThingss]

Dang, just spent a month trying to save a goni from brown jelly... it was one of my favorites. Hopefully I can find another one soon!

[@ReefReview]

Always helpful!!

[@ou812reefing]

Cheers Jake Enjoyed that 👌

[@natesaquatics4713]

So much great information, thanks!

That’s a goal for me to get a flower pot coral garden.

[@dougdeakin6478]

Great video! My favorite coral

[@hQd1337]

Thanks for the informations

[@HCBCHEMISTRY]

I been looking for a glitter gonni too. If I get one I'll send one your way.

[@glennrudolph]

Half of these 50k views must be mine. Extremely well made video on a very weird coral. Plus the music obv!

[@Atalantum]

@Jake my goniopora go crazy for PNS yellow sno! I love this new food

[@kevanbygate9485]

Thanks good and informative

[@schrodingers_catboy_9882]

What's the feeding time lapse song

[@me43935]

Very cool and useful video.

[@waterlover]

what beauties

[@Moonfruit777]

YaY a new video

[@RayVtheFishGuy]

Thanks for this video! I was able to identify one of my “micro gonis” as bernardpora thanks to your excellent descriptions. I had it right in the middle of some gonis when I realized it was encrusting the plug and the polyps were obviously micro sized. Could it be that all these micro gonis being sold are actually bernardpora? I isolated it from the rest. Thanks again!!

[@karennation3580]

Dont often see then so low and directly on sandbed! Do you not recomend that? Iheard you say gradually move them up but your are so low How on earth are you able to keep sps so low down with them? Can you tell me the names of the sps that like lower light? Also lps? I have some tonga and a bridge that runs along back of tank with lower light and I am going to put zoas but to large an area for all zoas, so looking for low light and low and it would be great if they didint sting! Great tank!

[@onlyphins]

Rip brother!

[@reefblue1885]

What configuration is the radion of that aquarium and what height please?

[@phil9634]

What is the long flown green one in the back. U said high lighter? Then u named all the other ones off??

[@undergroundreefs6523]

wait........ so alveopora are more related to montipora than gonis????????????????

[@Jacropora]

I would consider dosing manganese

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I've never dosed it specifically, and it's never tested low with ICP in any of my reef tanks. I think Iron and Mg is something we thought might be the missing link but I don't think there's any magic chemistry to them, just try to get a good one.

[@relaxmusicreviewmovie7021]

Can you show me any nutritional, chemical or how to take care of this coral. I only raised a few months and they all died... thanks y so much

[@davidlong8509]

great video

[@bbbbbbb411]

I have this flower pot coral for more than a month but it’s never open can you help me please ????

[@y.a.d1737]

I have had some success with flowerpot corals,its really not that tough as spoken

[@zafishguy5166]

Were reef roids not made for gonis and zoas initially?

[@MrThereeferspecialis]

Should they be dip for parasites before placing them in the tank

[@ToudaTube]

which food did you feed?

[@albertmaya6882]

Quick question on placement, do you glue the frag disc to maybe bottom of rock or just put disc on sand substrate?

[@ReefingwithO]

Where did you find that song at the end?

[@zafishguy5166]

Basically a skilled fishkeepers clove polyp.

[@scottyjackson6665]

Wow, these look like a vibrant cross between xenias and aiptasias

[@jackiekearney]

Care at 9:45

[@mattreefer2718]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Can you share your experience, the ballpark the par levels for gonipora?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I'd say 100-200 umols is the sweet spot, but they can acclimate up to about 250-300 but anymore than that is unnecessary.

[@aliceholbert1246]

I have really good luck. They gr9ow like weeds. They like certain tanks. Move them around. Great vid. I feed my colonies brine. My clowns host them all. I think that ttuly has something to do with i their success.

[@traynice9633]

Not sure if you mentioned what kind of flow is needed

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

low to medium flow with small blasts of high flow to 'wash' them off

[@lukielee3250]

Hi bro, Do you feed them every day..? Look very nice n healthy.👍

[@zafishguy5166]

I hear flowerpots are a mixed bag. Its time I find out why I hope the video can help me know more.

[@garywilliams8316]

I have NEVER had success with alveopora. The only flower pot that I have tried. They have always been frags. What specifically should I be doing to allow the water to be dirty? What mechanical filtration and chemical filtration should I use/not use? I’m trying again right now and this alveopora isn’t happy.

[@garywilliams8316]

I use Reef Roids and it just becomes part of the bioslime and eventually gets pushed off and doesn’t even appear to be eaten.

[@aaronfitz2892]

my dragon soul toch is fine and can touch my frog spawn but if it touches my gold hammer it stings it and closes which is so crazy to me

[@ferrari_guy3570]

I want just one flowerpot coral to put in my 10-gallon reef tank. It's gotta be a red one tho! Any suggestions?

[@shariarshakil9055]

What is the alkalinity calcium magnesium parameter you are maintaining?

[@huangjintang8312]

Do these corals need to be fed daily ，😰Their tentacles used to be 1" inch long, now they are only 3/8 long.

[@abhishekkumar-nd9ps]

Do they strictly need target feeding ,or it's optional? Because some of hobbiest are willing to do that but due to lack of time and unpredictable schedule are unable to perform that regularly,so please tell me 🙂🙂🙂🙂 thanks in advance.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mike9084]

I have an orange crush Goni that hasn't opened for 2 months. I feed, not a heavy flow..... should I move it higher to the light?

[@Grant5321]

I used to have a goniopora when I still had my reef tank. I want to build a smaller sps dominant tank now with maybe one or two gonis at the bottom. Am I going to start a war?

[@katmahomes1379]

what's up with mollies being in all your aquariums?

[@antonp6917]

Jake you're a snake mate. Love your channel.

[@ferrari_guy3570]

Jake. where can we buy some of your Goni frags?

[@Algaewarrior]

Awesome video! Do you think a lot of these "micro goni" corals i see on websites are wrongfully classified?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Most of the micro-gonies are most likely Bernardpora, but there are some species of Goniopora with very small polyps yet

[@stevemunn367]

Great video, can you mix gonis with Alva? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yes but not too close

[@Cavegeckosol]

I JUST saw one of those pale, lavender gonis at my LFS today for $20. Still on the fence about it, though. It was a little tucked in to its skeleton.

[@zafishguy5166]

I mean $20 what do you have to lose worth the risk. Honestly I took a ton of free coral I have videos about it. Of this free coral most did not make as they were already in bad condition. A few are looking nice however. If you like the coral and don't have much else then try it. If you have a nice tank be selective in what you add.

[@Cavegeckosol]

@@zafishguy5166 yeah, it is a space issue, mostly. I can't upgrade for a while because I am moving soon and don't know where I will be a year from now. I have gotten really picky about what I add haha.

[@zafishguy5166]

@@Cavegeckosol as you should be with a loaded tank. Be selective don't get an lps that kills everything by bringing in a parasite.

[@zafishguy5166]

@@Cavegeckosol if it was an empty or near empty tank I would say do it why not but in a full tank simply don't.
