The Red Goniopora spp. ultra frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive, flower-like polyps and vibrant red coloration. This frag is cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and sustainable addition to your marine aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colour and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable, with acclimation advised to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently move the polyps without causing damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position the frag on a stable rockwork area with enough space to allow full polyp extension. Maintain adequate spacing from aggressive corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to water quality fluctuations and require stable parameters.
Diet: While photosynthetic, this coral benefits from supplemental feeding of small meaty foods such as phytoplankton, rotifers, or specialised coral foods several times per week.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals that may overshadow or harm the polyps.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is essential for skeletal growth. Frag size allows for easier acclimation and placement within established reef systems.
