Goniopora spp. (Red-Yellow-Green Center) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vivid tri-coloured centres and extended polyps. This XXXL specimen offers a dramatic focal point in mature reef aquaria.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is ideal to gently sway the polyps without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position in a stable location with adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. Mid to lower tank placement is preferred.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods such as phytoplankton, rotifers, or specialised coral feeds.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with more aggressive species.
Additional Notes: Goniopora spp. are known for their sensitivity to sudden water parameter changes. Maintain consistent temperature, salinity, and calcium levels for optimal health.
