Goniopora spp. are prized LPS corals admired for their unique, flower-like polyps that gently sway in the aquarium current, adding dynamic movement and vibrant colour to reef displays. This premium extra extra large specimen offers a striking focal point for mature marine aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colours. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to ensure adequate gas exchange and prevent detritus accumulation on the polyps, which can cause stress.
Placement: Position the coral on a stable rock or substrate area with enough space around it to accommodate its extended polyps. Maintain adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to avoid coral warfare.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity and specific care requirements, Goniopora spp. is best suited to intermediate to advanced hobbyists.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, Goniopora spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods to support growth and polyp extension.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential for long-term success with this coral.
