Goniopora spp. (Green-Yellow Center) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive green-yellow centres and delicate polyps. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, vibrant specimens ideal for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and polyp extension. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to facilitate nutrient exchange without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position the frag in a stable location with adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. Mid to lower areas of the tank are generally suitable.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Goniopora spp. require stable water parameters and consistent feeding to thrive.
Diet: While photosynthetic, they benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. The polyps can extend and may sting nearby corals if placed too closely.
Additional Notes: As this listing is to genus level, specific origin and maximum size data are not provided. Best practice includes maintaining stable water chemistry and regular monitoring.
