What You See Is What You Get

Goniopora

Goniopora are possibly the most enigmatic of all Large Polyp Stony (LPS) corals. On one hand, Goniopora are some of the most intensely colored corals on the reef. Often referred to as "flower pot" corals due to the appearance of their tentacles resembling a bouquet of flowers. This aesthetic also makes them highly desirable.

See below for additional care tips for Goniopora.

Location

Indo-Pacific islands, including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.

Lighting

In terms of lighting, we have had success keeping Goniopora under a wide range of intensities. They can adjust to any lighting level you currently have in your home aquarium. However, if you have particularly bright lights, we recommend giving Goniopora with moderate lighting time to adjust.

Low light

Low light is between 30 - 50 PAR per unit area

Medium light

Medium light is between 50 - 150 PAR per unit area

High light

High light is above 150 PAR per unit area

Water Flow

Moderate to strong water flow is recommended. Goniopora are sensitive to contact, but strong flow does not seem to bother them.

Feeding

Goniopora heavily depend on the products of their zooxanthellae. This coral can benefit from the addition of phytoplankton as a food source. Although the coral itself can consume some phytoplankton, the real benefit is the increase in the population of rotifers that feed on the phytoplankton. Rotifers are a good meal for a wide variety of corals.

Warning

Goniopora are among the most delicate corals available in the hobby today and have developed a poor reputation over the years. They seem to survive for 6 months to a year (just enough time to give the hobbyist a sense of accomplishment and success) and then suddenly collapse. Despite examples of professional success, we cannot recommend this coral for beginner reefkeepers.
