Goniopora spp. (Blue-Purple) Tank-Bred Frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its striking blue to purple polyps. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens ideal for marine reef aquariums.
Care Level: Moderate. Goniopora spp. require stable water parameters and consistent feeding to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is preferred. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching; LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong currents can cause polyp retraction and stress.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable rock or substrate area with enough space to allow full polyp extension. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure optimal growth.
Feeding: While Goniopora spp. can derive nutrients from photosynthesis, supplemental feeding with planktonic foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods 2-3 times weekly supports vibrant growth and polyp extension.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours.
Origin & Size: Origin not provided. Frag size suitable for established reef tanks with stable water conditions.
Regular water quality monitoring and maintaining stable parameters (temperature, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium) are essential for long-term success with Goniopora spp.
