Rainbow Goniopora

This Goniopora colony stands out for its unusually long, extended tentacles in olive-yellow and pale blue-green, reaching well beyond the more compact, tightly-clustered flower shape typical of most pieces in this range. The result is a looser, more flowing look that moves noticeably in flow compared to the denser daisy-cluster varieties.

As with all Goniopora, this is a coral with a real reputation in the hobby for being harder to keep long-term than most LPS, and it’s rated medium to advanced rather than a beginner pick — worth knowing before adding it to a newer setup.

Care basics

  • Care level: Medium to advanced. Not recommended as a first LPS coral.
  • Lighting: Medium.
  • Flow: Low to moderate, random rather than direct.
  • Water chemistry: Sensitive to sudden changes, particularly in phosphate levels. Stable, gradually-adjusted parameters matter more than with most corals.
  • Feeding: Planktivorous — benefits from regular feeding of rotifers or similarly fine planktonic foods, unlike most LPS which can go without.

Supplied as rested frags on 2cm plugs.
