Honestly, it's sustainable in captivity? That's great to hear, I've always thought gonipora corals were doomed in tanks. Guess I need to rethink my stance on this.

I'm talking "easy care, easy reproduce" - sounds too good to be true. Then I saw this guy boasting about his own, saying it went from 30 heads to 100 heads... I'm not buying it. Honestly, I'm having trouble telling it apart from your run-of-the-mill red-morph flowerpot coral. Can someone please enlighten me? I feel like I'm missing something. Sorry for the poor image quality.
Gonipora does surprisingly well in captivity, many folks are having success with them. Wall hammers and meat corals are the ones that should probably stay in the ocean, if you ask me.
