Pinky Goniopora Coral

Pinky Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Pinky Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with long, flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Goniopora offers the movement associated with extended polyps and pink coloration for a reef aquarium display. Its glowing centers and LPS form make it a distinctive choice for keepers prepared to provide attentive, stable care.

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. Begin with a gentler position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching for consistent polyp extension and response.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can prevent comfortable extension and irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room for full polyp extension. Acclimate gradually and leave open space around the coral rather than crowding it against rockwork.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive Goniopora needs room for extension and should not be placed where nearby corals can interfere with its polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Feeding can be targeted gently, with circulation adjusted so food reaches the polyps without forceful flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. Goniopora care is moderate to advanced, so observe polyp extension closely and make lighting, flow, or placement changes slowly rather than all at once.

Give this coral stable conditions, open space, and patient observation.
