Red Goniopora Coral Care The Red Goniopora (Flowerpot Coral) is a striking LPS coral with long, flower-like polyps in deep red or crimson tones. While once considered difficult, modern aquacultured strains have made Goniopora easier to care for in mature reef systems.Care Highlights: Lighting: Moderate PAR (100–200) – too much can cause polyp retraction Flow: Low to moderate, indirect – strong flow may damage delicate polyps Placement: Mid to lower tank zones; avoid shade and direct blast from pumps Feeding: Benefits greatly from regular feedings (reef roids, phytoplankton, amino acids) 2–3x/week Water Parameters: Temp: 75–78°F Salinity: 1.025 dKH: 8–11 Calcium: 420–460 ppm Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm Stability is key – Goniopora are sensitive to swings in alkalinity and nutrients. Pro Tips: Target feed at night or when polyps are fully extended Avoid placing near aggressive corals or high flow zones Use trace element blends with manganese and iron to support long-term health
