Goniopora spp. (Pink) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive pink polyps that gently sway in the aquarium current, adding dynamic movement and colour to your reef tank.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This coral requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Lighting: Prefers moderate lighting conditions. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching and stress.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure the polyps can extend fully without damage.
Placement: Position in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the aquarium, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or stinging.
Feeding: While Goniopora spp. can derive nutrition from photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with planktonic foods or specialised coral feeds 2-3 times per week can promote growth and polyp extension.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and requires careful placement to avoid contact.
Additional Notes: Goniopora spp. are known for their sensitivity to water quality fluctuations. Maintain stable parameters with regular testing and water changes. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow.
