Hi all,

Need to get rid of my blue Gono because it is getting too big for the tank and it has a pretty impressive sting for a coral...

Just a heads up, this is NOT a beginner coral. Most green Gonos don't make it past 6 months, however, after doing some research, I have found that the red and blue/purple varieties have a much better success rate. See link:

I have had this in my tank for almost a year (bought it from Anthony up in LA), and it has only grown. A very awesome coral as you can see.

I wish I didn't have to part with it, but I need something with smaller tenticles (thinking about another small long tent. plate to go in it's place)

The picture color is accurate,...it IS that color. Anyway, I was thinking $40 or a trade for a pink plate (or other cool LPS) Thanks!

Price too high? Anthony raked me over the coals for this one so I'm not sure what the prices of blue ones would be....

What kind of light do you have it under? I've got a really mature tank that has PC lighting... Another with T5...

It's under 175watt MH about 24" away from the bulbs, but I am pretty sure that LPS like this will do fine under PC lighting. It was under 3X96Watt PC but only for about a month (Then I upgraded to MH).

Fully extended, how long are the polyps?

Would you take $30 cash?

They range from about 3-4 inches, with some sweepers that go out as long as 5 (rare, unless it is right next to another coral).

I think I will wait to see if anyone offers $40 or a long tenticle fungi. If I don't get any bites, I will let you know. Thanks
