Lovers Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Lovers Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with WYSIWYG identification. This WYSIWYG Goniopora is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate lighting, varied flow, and consistent reef conditions. Its extended polyps need open room to move naturally.

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 to the intended intensity and watch polyp extension and overall response before making placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow rather than a direct blast. Gentle changing current helps keep the polyps moving while allowing them to extend comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with clear space around it. Allow room for full polyp extension and make adjustments gradually during acclimation.

Temperament

Treat this coral as semi-aggressive. Leave space between it and neighboring corals so extended polyps do not contact or sting nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be done gently, with flow adjusted to keep food available briefly.

General Care

Moderate to advanced care is recommended. Maintain stable reef conditions, avoid stripping all measurable nutrients from the aquarium, and monitor polyp extension after changes to lighting, flow, feeding, or placement.

Give it stable conditions, open space, and time to settle in.
