Since y'all insist on discussing this, I've moved it into the reef forum. The original for sale thread is in the Buy/Sell forum. Please do not reply to it unless you have direct interest in purchasing the fish.
Keep on chatting in here though

I've got no problem with stores selling hard-to-keep items, but they should at least tell people about the issues. When I initially bought a Goniopora, the pet store was telling me it was a very easy to care for coral. Needless to say, I never shop there anymore.

Yah, sorry for getting off topic and taking over your for sale thread. How long did you have your Goniopora for Drew?

I had the goniopora for about six months. It was doing really well (to my knowledge) until I added my clownfish.
It ate cyclopeeze out of a small eye dropper (I forget what they're called). I just turned the pumps off and spot fed the individual polyps for a few minutes. It was great!

Has anyone on here had a Goniopora last over 2 years? I would be very interested in what you did.

It is completely understandable why some reefers get upset when they read Moorish Idol threads.
It is pretty well unanimous that these fish rarely survive and those who buy them and those who sell them know this. Buyers think that they are going to be the ONE who is sucessful. etc who is sucessful or they were trying to save the fish. You do not 'save' impossible to keep species by buying them from LFS that sell them. The only way LFS stop buying them is when these fish die in their tanks and they lose the revenue. Continue to do what most good reefers do. When you see a Moorish Idol or similar species call the owner of the store over and indicate that they should not be importing these fish and why. (he knows this anyway). But he will think twice about importing them in the future.
