Goniastrea spp. (Green) | XXL

Goniastrea spp. (Green) is a popular genus of large polyp stony (LPS) corals known for their distinctive, densely packed corallites and vibrant green hues. This extra extra large specimen offers a bold and impressive focal point for mature reef aquariums.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is ideal. Strong currents can damage the delicate polyps, while stagnant water may encourage detritus buildup.

Placement: Position on a stable, flat surface within the lower to middle regions of the tank. Ensure ample space around the colony to prevent aggression with neighbouring corals, as Goniastrea spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and care requirements.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid territorial conflicts. Not aggressive towards fish or invertebrates.

Feeding: While photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.

Water Parameters: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels.

This XXL Goniastrea spp. specimen is a premium addition for those looking to enhance their reef display with a robust and visually striking LPS coral.
