Goniopora spp. (Yellow) Large is a visually striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its bright yellow polyps and unique appearance. This coral belongs to the family Poritidae and is a popular choice among marine aquarists looking to add vibrant colour and movement to their reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light which can cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to ensure polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the aquarium, ideally on a stable rockwork base with enough space around it to prevent aggression or stinging from neighbouring corals.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its specific care needs and sensitivity to water quality fluctuations.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and requires space to prevent coral warfare.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Additional Notes: Regular water changes and stable water parameters are essential to maintain vibrant colour and polyp extension. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water chemistry.
