Yes, I don't think Sam or anyone else recommends them to the new or casual reefer. However, with those links provided, there is some useful new info about how to take care of them with some hope of success if you already have one.

Casual? New? I don't think so.

Goniopora: There have been no advancements. There are several experts and scientists who feel that they may be successful in the near future of finding out just what is required to keep this coral alive.

That is a far cry from saying only newbies and casual reefers should stay away from them.

These are living creatures and best kept in the ocean until their feeding and care requirements are ascertained and we as reefers have that knowledge and possess the necessary equipment and feeding to keep them alive

I did not recommend Goniopora to a new or casual reefer. Therefore, what Anthony said is true.

In addition, I did not say nor imply that "Only newbies and casual reefers should stay away from them". Therefore what you've inferred I said is incorrect.

Please don't try to start an argument where none exists. Thanks.

thanks for the links they gave me some hope. I decided to give it a try and see if i can have some luck. The thing that gets me is the mis information i had recieved at the store. If i had known the survival rate i wouldnt have bought it. But it is too late because of my own neglegance in information on the species of coral, so i am thankfull in sites like this so i can get more information and hopefully keep it alive. so far things are looking good exept my clowns are hosting in it.

This is one of the lessons that we all must learn. Do your own research on what you are buying and don't take the word of the LFS for the truth. I like to go in armed with my reference books now. I leave them in the truck, but if I see something I like that I'm unfamiliar with, I can go look it up.
