Purple Passion Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Purple Passion Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Goniopora offers the distinctive polyp movement associated with this LPS coral. Its moderate-to-advanced care needs make consistent reef husbandry, thoughtful placement, and regular observation important from acclimation onward.

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 gentle acclimation period, then observe polyp extension and adjust placement gradually rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving without blasting them directly. Avoid stagnant areas as well as a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room for full polyp extension. Allow time to settle after introduction, and adjust gradually if its response suggests the location is unsuitable.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive coral may require separation. Plan its position around extended polyps and avoid crowding it against other specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods, as this coral benefits from supplemental feeding. Target feeding can be done gently while maintaining suitable water movement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This moderate-to-advanced coral responds best to consistency; watch polyp extension, tissue condition, and changes in behavior when making any adjustments.

Give it stable conditions, gentle adjustments, and space to extend.
