Goniopora spp. (Green-Blue Center) is a visually impressive large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green polyps accented by distinctive blue centres. This XXL specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a dramatic focal point to their reef display.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and polyp extension. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure healthy polyp expansion and to prevent detritus accumulation around the base.
Placement: Position on a stable rockwork area with adequate space to neighbouring corals, as Goniopora spp. can extend sweeper tentacles and may engage in chemical warfare. Ensure good water quality and stable parameters for best results.
Care Level: Moderate. Requires consistent water parameters and regular feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific supplements to thrive.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to avoid coral warfare.
Due to the genus-level identification, husbandry recommendations are conservative to ensure success across various Goniopora species.
