Goniopora spp. (Green) Ultra Frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive, flower-like polyps and vibrant green coloration. This ultra frag is tank-bred, ensuring a sustainable and healthy addition to your marine aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for Goniopora spp., such as T5 fluorescents or LED setups with medium PAR levels. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to keep the polyps extended and healthy without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this frag in a stable location with enough space to allow full polyp extension. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Diet: While Goniopora spp. derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with planktonic foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but may extend sweeper tentacles, so careful placement is important.
Additional Notes: Tank-bred frags like this one tend to acclimate well and contribute to sustainable reefkeeping. Maintain stable water parameters, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, to support skeletal growth.
