Goniopora spp. (Amazeballs) are captivating large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their distinctive, colourful polyps that sway gracefully in the aquarium current. This tank-bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy and sustainable addition to your reef tank.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with moderate PAR levels. Avoid intense direct light which can cause bleaching or polyp retraction.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to mimic natural reef conditions. Strong flow can damage the delicate polyps, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position the frag on a stable rock or substrate area with adequate space around it. Goniopora spp. require room to extend their polyps without interference from neighbouring corals, so maintain at least 5–7 cm spacing.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for long-term success.
Diet: While Goniopora spp. derive nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with planktonic foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and polyp extension.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overgrow the frag.
Origin and Size: Origin not provided. Frag size suitable for various reef setups; growth rates vary depending on tank conditions.
