Hi All,
Need a little advice on this one. I just recently upgraded the lights on my 75g from 4x54w T5 up to MH/T5 combo unit. I have had my Goni for about 6 months now, and it seems to be pretty healthy. (Yes, I have heard all the horror stories about this coral) Anyway, it was originally placed about half way up my rock work, and it used to open up real full and nice with my old T5's. However, since upgrading about a month ago, it does not open up near as far anymore, so I am thinking that the new lights are too strong, and I need to move the coral down towards the bottom.
Here is the problem... My Goni has grown some kind of a foot and has attached to the rock that it is sitting on. Similar to that of an Anemone. I can't move the whole rock, so how do I get it to realease it's grip without hurting the coral? Is it normal for a Goni to attach like this?
Please let me know what you all think.
ThankYou.
