Goniopora spp., commonly known as the Mickey Mouse Coral, is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its unique polyp structure and vibrant colours. This frag is tank-bred and cultured, ensuring a sustainable and healthy addition to your marine reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for Goniopora spp. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to keep the polyps extended and healthy without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong currents that may stress the coral.
Placement: Place the frag in a stable location with adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. Mid to lower areas of the tank often provide optimal conditions.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of small meaty foods such as phytoplankton, marine snow, or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and should be given room to expand.
Additional Notes: This frag is cultured by DJM and tank-bred, supporting sustainable reefkeeping practices. Regular monitoring of water quality and stable parameters will promote healthy growth.
