How do you take care of Goniopora?
Goniopora can thrive in a wide range of lighting. We have kept Goniopora in different lighting intensities here at Tidal Gardens ranging from very dimly lit 50 PAR tanks all the way to bright aquariums receiving over 200 PAR. I would recommend placing them under moderate lighting intensities, between 75-125 PAR.
Are Goniopora easy to care for?
The Goniopora Flower Pot Coral is a spectacularly beautiful and delicate Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral that used to be thought of as impossible to care for in a home aquarium but is now within reach of aquarium owners with experience caring for moderately difficult species who are willing to feed and nurture them.
Do Goniopora need to be fed?
Some goniopora require lots of food and some do not.. The red ORA goni does fine without direct feeding but seems to do better with some feedings. Some goniopora though require lots of feeding, it is the key to keeping allot of the harder to keep varieties.
How long does it take for Goniopora to settle in?
It can take a week or two for it to settle in.
How often should I feed my Goniopora?
It prefers moderate to high water flow, with moderate to high lighting conditions. I feed this species DT’s oyster eggs, Cyclop-eeze juice and phytoplankton three to five times per week. In my opinion, this coral does not need direct feeding to thrive, although such feedings do seem to enhance its growth.
Will Goniopora spread?
This is my fastest growing Goniopora. Tissue spreads quickly over freshly cut skeleton and then onto the mounting plug. It prefers moderate to high water flow, with moderate to high lighting conditions. I feed this species DT’s oyster eggs, Cyclop-eeze juice and phytoplankton three to five times per week.
