i have a Goniopora and have heard the same thing but it seems to be doing
well as of now.

Should also add Coralliomorphs are doing very well, as are Gonioporas
although a number of people have told me that they don't last very long.

I'm definitely a beginner and I have good success (so far) with:

mushroom leather corals
sarcophyton
bubble
euphyllia anchora
catalaphyllia
brains
sinularia

I have another one that I don't know the name of. It's like a disc of
small
stalks (each approx 1/4" diameter). Out of each stalk comes a "flower"
so
that the whole thing looks like a dinner plate full of small creamy
coloured
flowers.
