Pinky Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Pinky Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with long, flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Goniopora is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate lighting, varied flow, and consistent conditions. Its extended polyps bring visible movement to lower and middle reef areas.

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 the coral under gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to its final intensity while watching polyp extension and overall response.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow rather than a direct blast. Gentle changing current helps the polyps move naturally without keeping them pinned in one direction.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with open room around it for full polyp extension. Allow time to settle after introduction before making repeated placement changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Its extended polyps need clearance, so avoid crowding it against neighbors that may sting or restrict extension.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to supplement its nutrition. Feed carefully in a way that allows the coral to capture food without excessive waste buildup.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This moderate-to-advanced care coral responds best to consistency; observe extension regularly and adjust lighting, flow, or placement gradually when needed.

Provide steady conditions, open space, and patient observation for the best response.
