I believe that my experience with them over the years has led to my making these generalizations:
Goniopora and Protein Skimmers are not the best combination. Skimmers remove the floating food that they like to be in contact with all the time.
They also seem to do better when there are more than one and they touch. No one seems to know why. I do not know.
They need "dirty" or turbid water. Turbid is a similar word to murky. The cloudy murk has the particulate matter that they feed from.
So ask yourself: Am I ready to do water quality checks to make sure the water is murky enough to feed them but not to murky to cause an ammonia spike? Am I ready to keep the water murky to feed them?
