Purple Passion Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Purple Passion Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with an LPS care profile. This WYSIWYG Purple Passion Goniopora coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate lighting, varied water movement, and consistent reef conditions. Its long polyp extension needs open space and careful placement among neighboring corals.

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 in a lower-light area and acclimate gradually if moving it into brighter conditions, watching polyp extension and overall response.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef with room for full polyp extension. Secure the specimen where it will not be crowded or shaded by nearby corals.

Temperament

Allow extra spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral needs room to extend without contact, reducing the chance of stinging or interference with surrounding specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support the coral. Feeding is beneficial, but avoid overfeeding and maintain good aquarium husbandry.

General Care

Moderate to advanced care is recommended. Maintain stable reef conditions, keep measurable nutrients available rather than stripping them completely, and observe polyp extension after changes to lighting, flow, feeding, or placement.

Give it stable conditions and open space for consistent polyp extension.
