Red Goniopora - Care Requirements
Introducing the stunning Red Goniopora, a vibrant addition to any marine aquarium. Known for its striking red hues and delicate, flower-like polyps, this coral is a favorite among enthusiasts looking to add a splash of color and elegance to their underwater landscapes.
Care Requirements
- Water Parameters: Maintain a stable environment with a temperature between 72-78°F, salinity of 1.023-1.025, and a pH level of 8.1-8.4. Regular water changes and monitoring are essential to keep your Red Goniopora thriving.
- Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal for this coral. Ensure that the flow is not too strong to avoid damaging the delicate polyps, but sufficient to keep the coral clean and healthy.
- Feeding: While the Red Goniopora can derive nutrients from photosynthesis, supplemental feeding with micro-plankton or coral-specific foods will enhance its growth and vibrancy.
- Placement: Position the Red Goniopora in a location with moderate lighting. LED or T5 lighting systems work well, but avoid direct, intense light to prevent bleaching.
- Compatibility: This coral is generally peaceful and can coexist with other non-aggressive species. Ensure adequate space between corals to prevent competition and allow for full polyp extension.
With its captivating beauty and relatively easy care requirements, the Red Goniopora is a high-end choice for aquarists seeking to elevate their marine displays. Add this rainbow of color to your collection and enjoy the mesmerizing movement and charm it brings to your aquatic world.
