cherry Tree Goniopora - Care Requirements

cherry Tree Goniopora is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with an LPS coral care profile. This WYSIWYG Goniopora is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate to advanced care, stable conditions, and thoughtful placement that leaves room for its polyp extension.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe polyp extension and overall response before making further light changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow rather than a direct blast. Gentle changing movement helps keep the coral moving naturally without preventing its polyps from extending.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space around it. Start with a secure position and allow room for full polyp extension as it settles in.

Temperament

Treat this coral as semi-aggressive and leave space between it and nearby corals. Avoid crowded placement so extended polyps have room and neighboring corals are less likely to be affected.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be done gently when polyps are extended, while avoiding excessive food buildup.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Monitor polyp extension, placement, flow response, and nearby coral spacing, adjusting gradually rather than making abrupt changes.

Give it consistent conditions, open space, and time to settle.
