Goniopora spp. (Yellow) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive yellow polyps and delicate appearance. This small-sized specimen is a beautiful addition to mature reef aquariums, providing vibrant colour and gentle movement with its extended polyps.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with medium PAR levels. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate, indirect water flow. Strong currents can cause polyp retraction and stress.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in areas with moderate lighting and gentle water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Care Level: Moderate. Goniopora spp. can be sensitive to water quality fluctuations and requires stable parameters with regular feeding.
Feeding: Supplement the diet with small meaty foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialised coral foods 2-3 times weekly to support polyp health and growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may harm its delicate polyps.
Additional Notes: This coral is best suited for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral care. Maintain stable water parameters and monitor for signs of stress or pest infestation.
