The Goniopora spp. (Hellfire) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking, fiery-coloured polyps that gently sway with aquarium currents. This frag is Tank-Bred and cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring robust health and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, ideally from LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is best to allow the polyps to extend fully without damage. Too strong a flow may cause retraction or tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Goniopora spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton, rotifers, or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near highly aggressive or fast-growing species.
Additional Notes: This frag is a cultured specimen grown by DJM, ensuring ethical sourcing and reduced impact on wild populations. Frag format allows for easy integration into existing reef setups.
