Rainbow Goniopora
This Goniopora colony carries a deep coral-pink hue throughout, tentacles fanning out into a dense star pattern that catches the light beautifully once fully open and swaying in flow.
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. Trace additions of molybdenum and manganese can help growth, though aren’t essential.
- 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.
