Who can tell me the difference? Is it the bernardpora just has shorter tentacles or is there more to it?
 
not an expert but I believe what people call "micro-gonis"are now bernardpora. So small polyps. The larger polyps are goniopora and can be either long tentacle or short tentacle.
 
Bernie's are more encrusters. Very short. Very aggressive. Can take out gonies. Needs space. More or less like chalices.
