Well, i recently bought a CA reactor off a guy, so he gave me a bunch of corals to go with it.

All the others are healthy, but he gave me a goni that was about have dead. Under my MH's (he had it under flourescents) i noticed that it is excreting a slime over the dead portions, and it looks like there is some green underneath the slime. My camera is too picky to run off the no-name batteries that i have so ill post pics when i get the duracells back

sorry to say this, but once it starts to go ... 99%of the time, it is pretty much a goner. they have a VERY low survival rate when in a captive system. most only making it for about 1 year. no one seems to know why, but that is how it is for now.

thats totally okay. I got the half dead goni, a colt coral, zoos, and a 5" clam for fifty bucks, so if the goni dies, thats okay with me (truth be told, i dont really like the flourescent green color :s)

Thnx for the reply bobby
