Pinky Goniopora Coral

Pinky Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Pinky Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with extended polyps. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide consistent conditions, moderate lighting, and varied water movement. Give its polyps open room to extend and observe its response as it settles into the aquarium.

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. Start with a gentler introduction to the chosen area, then adjust placement gradually if needed while watching polyp extension and overall response.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can prevent comfortable extension and cause the coral to remain withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space around the colony. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow, leaving room for full polyp extension.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this is a semi-aggressive LPS coral. Avoid crowding its extended polyps, and monitor nearby corals as the colony settles into its placement.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Feed gently in suitable flow so food can reach the polyps without forcing them to retract.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This moderate-to-advanced care coral benefits from regular observation, especially during acclimation, so lighting, flow, and placement can be adjusted based on polyp behavior.

Provide steady care and open space for reliable polyp extension.
