Goniopora spp. (Red) Tiny is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking red polyps and delicate appearance. This specimen is tank-bred, ensuring sustainable sourcing and enhanced acclimation to captive reef environments.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 50-150 µmol/m²/s are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently move the polyps and prevent detritus accumulation without damaging the delicate tentacles.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable rockwork base in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to avoid coral warfare, as Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to stinging or overgrowth.
Care Level: Moderate. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding to thrive.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Goniopora spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods 2-3 times per week.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near highly aggressive corals.
Additional Notes: This tiny variant is perfect for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular monitoring of water quality and gentle acclimation will promote healthy growth and polyp extension.
