Red Rum Goniopora Coral

Red Rum Goniopora Coral - Care Requirements

Red Rum Goniopora Coral is a Goniopora large-polyp stony coral with long flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Goniopora coral brings extended polyps, glowing centers, and gentle movement to a reef aquarium. Its Red Rum presentation makes it a natural focal point while retaining the care needs of an LPS coral.

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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and watch polyp extension and overall response as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving without constant force. Avoid direct blasting flow, which can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room for full polyp extension. Introduce it carefully and adjust placement if it remains retracted.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Allow room around its extended polyps and avoid crowding it against neighbors that may cause irritation or contact.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine particulate foods to support this coral. Target feeding can be done gently when polyps are extended, without creating excessive flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid stripping the aquarium of all measurable nutrients. This is a Moderate to Advanced care coral, so observe extension, placement response, and nearby coral spacing regularly as conditions change.

Allow time for acclimation and adjust care based on polyp response.
