The Blue Goniopora spp. is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its striking blue polyps and delicate appearance. This premium tiny specimen is tank-bred, ensuring better adaptation to aquarium conditions and supporting sustainable reefkeeping.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong currents can cause the polyps to retract, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow full polyp extension.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with experience in maintaining stable water parameters and consistent lighting.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and require room to expand their polyps.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton, marine snow, or specialised coral foods.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for optimal health. Maintain calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium within recommended reef aquarium ranges.
