Goniopora spp. (Red) Ultra is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant red polyps and unique flower-like appearance. This small-sized ultra variant is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a splash of colour and movement to their reef setup.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, making it suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 lighting systems, to support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient delivery.
Placement: Place in a stable location with enough space to avoid contact with neighbouring corals, as Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive species. Mid to lower reef areas are generally preferred.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Goniopora spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods to promote growth and polyp extension.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare and ensure healthy coexistence.
Additional Notes: This coral requires stable water parameters with consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth. Regular monitoring of water quality is advised.
