Goniastrea spp. (Premium) Tiny are tank-bred large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their robust nature and striking appearance. These corals feature a distinctive, often bumpy skeletal structure with vibrant colours that add texture and interest to reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure adequate nutrient delivery while preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Position these corals on stable rockwork in areas with moderate light and flow. Provide sufficient space from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Diet: While Goniastrea spp. derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, they benefit from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent stinging or overgrowth of neighbouring corals.
Origin & Size: Origin and maximum size vary within the genus; conservative husbandry practices are advised.
